Educating English Learners: Language Diversity in the Classroom

Long popular with students and professors alike, Educating English Learners, 5th ed., differs from typical academic texts in several ways. Its journalistic style and presentation, drawn from real-world programs and events, have made it one of the most readable books used in teacher-education programs. Author James Crawford, a former Washington Editor of Education Week, offers a broad perspective encompassing policy and politics as well as research and pedagogy. Avoiding the â€œeverything but the kitchen sinkâ€ approach, he stresses in-depth discussion of key concepts and controversies that are most relevant to classroom teachers. Crawford relies not only on academic sources, but also on interviews he has conducted over many years with researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates. In addition, the new Kindle edition provides extensive links to bibliographical references, plus a Web-based Online Resource Guide featuring hundreds of primary source materials, research studies, legislation and litigation, ERIC Digests, historical documents, government reports, and other aids to further research.

â€œBy far the most complete, the most thorough, and the most insightful volume ever done in the field.â€
