Today’s early childhood educators are serving more children learning English as a second language than ever. To support second language learners and put them on the path to academic success, every teacher needs this new edition of this popular, practical, and highly readable guidebook.
Reflecting 10 years of dramatic change in early education—especially in critical areas like assessment and cultural diversity— this fully revised edition gives teachers up-to-date research, usable information, and essential tools to meet the needs of second language learners in today’s learning environments. Leading researcher Patton Tabors equips teachers with new and expanded content to help them:
» apply cutting-edge research to their everyday teaching practices
» address NAEYC’s recommendations for responding to linguistic and cultural diversity
» use appropriate assessment techniques for children’s first and second language, including an easy-to-use observation checklist (on the CDROM) to monitor children’s English language learning over time
» discover ways to improve literacy instruction for all children, including literacy practices checklists (on the CD-ROM) that pinpoint areas needing curriculum support
» understand and attend to the particular needs of internationally adopted children
Teachers will also get updates on all the key topics covered in the first edition, including working with parents, understanding the process of second-language acquisition, and using the curriculum and classroom organization to facilitate English language and literacy learning. Ideal for professional development, this book is the best tool a teacher can have to support the language and literacy development of second language learners while honoring their home languages and cultures.
