Rising enrollments of children for whom English is not a first language and children whose first dialect is not Standard American English mean that every teacher is a language teacher, as well as a subject area teacher.


This book shows what teachers need to know about language to guide teacher education. It focuses on the features of English and language that, if understood by educators, can help them improve their practice, and gives specific examples of the difference this knowledge can make. Research conducted since the first edition has expanded our understanding of academic language, with particular implications for teaching children from diverse communities. The new edition reflects the expanded knowledge base, derived from research on classrooms and curricula, on the pivotal role that language plays in learning and schooling.


The volume will be of interest to teachers, teacher educators, professional development specialists, administrators, and all those interested in learning more about the important role played by language in helping to ensure student success in the classroom and beyond.  2018. 168 pages
