Written by teachers for teachers, this is a practical introduction to models and strategies employed in the teaching of English language learners. Each chapter discusses several models and/or strategies by focusing on particular methods. It gives the background of the method's development, discusses practical examples and applications, provides possible caveats and modifications, and offers a list for further reading about the method. The book is written to be of immediate use to classroom teachers but will also be valuable as a supplementary textbook. All methods discussed are currently being taught in Norland's classes and implemented through the student teaching program at Luther College. Strategies include: Grammar-based Approaches, The Silent Way, Experiential Language Learning, Literature-based Approach, Family Literacy, and many more. Grades K-12.
