Summary

A practical, go-to resource for classroom strategies aligned to TESOL standards
50 Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners includes an assortment of practical strategies aligned to TESOL standards, which have been field-tested in diverse classrooms. Each strategy includes a brief explanation, step-by-step instructions on how to plan and use the strategy, and classroom scenarios demonstrating how the strategy can be adapted for different grade levels and content areas. The authors have included additional strategies in language and literacy development, technology, and assessment to support both pre- and in-service teachers.

Included are a new chapter addressing the choice and use of technology strategies based on students’ unique needs, additional adaptation charts, and expanded teacher self-evaluation rubrics.
