Product Description
The third edition of this popular handbook brings together theories, ideas, and resources for promoting crosscultural awareness, language development, and academic progress for English learners. It ties together culture and language in a comprehensive format and delves deeply into the educational challenges faced by classroom teachers. Written specifically for the mainstream teacher, the guide clearly shows the effects of cultural differences on learning and presents an excellent treatment of cultural diversity and learning styles. It comes at a time when more than two million students nationwide with limited English proficiency fill our classrooms -- a time when today's teachers desperately need practical, effective resources to help these students succeed in school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preparing to take the CLAD test., October 26, 2001
By A Customer
Chapters 1 & 2 seemed very dry but I'm not big on theory. The remaining chapters were much more interesting. I highly recommend reading it before taking the CLAD test.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I needed for the CTEL, June 24, 2006
By Teaching25Years "Teaching25Years" (Fountain Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This text admirably addresses the CTEL exam. Pop for the third edition; it's worth it. And if it were up to me, this book's sections on immigration law, history, and diversity would be required reading for any educator.
