Customer Reviews

A must have

I having been teach ESL students for four years. I found this book to be extremely handy. It is an easy, interesting read and very informative. Any teacher could benefit from the use of most of these strategies. The book offered creative ways to differ your instruction. I love it!

actually helpful for teachers

As an ESL teacher, I find this book actually to be useful for my grad school class and my own practice. Pretty happy with the purchase.

every esl teacher need this

This book is well organized and coordinated with tesol objectives. Very user friendly, this is a must have resource for all ages.

Practical

I think this book has many practical ideas, not just for ELLs, but for teaching in traditional classrooms as well.

Practical and succinct

Over and over, I've looked for a book which focuses on practice rather than just theory. This book is just what I've been looking for! Each strategy is presented with a brief summary of the research behind it, practical methods to apply it to any classroom at any grade level, and examples of the strategy at work in two different classrooms. As an ESL teacher, I plan to use this book as a valuable resource throughout the school year. Don't be fooled by the title, though: these strategies will help all your students, not just English language learners. Teachers and tutors will enjoy using these ideas with their students.
