The authors emphasize relevent material and content towards the importance of "teaching in multicultural contexts". The excepts from teachers and students provide a personal connection. This book addresses issues of cultural diversity, Bilingual/ESL strategies, and provides a reference on laws and policies that have evolved to focus on today's changing educational settings.

I read and studied from the second edition of this book. It was THE book I took with me into my comprehensive exams for my PhD studies in Bilingual Education (which I passed). I CAN'T WAIT to read the new/updated edition! These authors/researchers are incredible!

This book is required reading in a graduate class I am taking and is an excellent resource. It gives a comprehensive look at Bilingual Education. It begins with an overview of bilingual education, then moves into specific programs and policies which include important court cases that shaped the face of education today. The historical view was particularly interesting! After chapters on language and culture, Ovando does a great job of explaining how to teach in different content areas. Anyone in the field of education will benefit from reading this book. It is well researched and written by someone with a deep understanding of bilingual education.

This book was required for a class I took about bilingual education. It is chock full of great information and insights regarding the world of bilingualism. There are fantastic real life synopses interspersed throughout chapters that bring many crucial points home. The information is practically up-to-the-minute. A really good resource!

Really well written book. I am enjoying it. Recommended for anyone learning about ESL students.

this was a required book for my master's program and let me say this is a HARD book to read. The language is difficult to understand and it is just plain drab to read. It lacks creative examples and activites. The information is good, just not presented in an interesting manner.

This book is not very user friendly, a very tough read!

This book has some interesting and useful information. On the downside-it is very dry reading and can be quite boring. I found some of the information to be over my head.
