5.0 out of 5 stars Teach your students not just English, but how to learn, January 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning Strategies Handbook (Paperback)
If you are interested in teaching your students not only ESL, but how to learn, this book is for you. Based on the CALLA method to teaching (as described in Ana Chamot's Calla Handbook) the concept behind this text is to show how to teach students various strategies on how to become better learners and improve memory. With these skills, students are more apt to use higher order thinking skills in the classroom. In this particular book, you will find out how to implement the CALLA system step by step; there are all sorts of charts and reproducible forms for students and teachers to use.

This book teaches you how to teach learning strategies. This books is not only excellent for ESL students but all of these strategies work equally well for low SES students and all students. This is a book you will refer back to again and again.
