 Too anecdotal January 23, 2008
This book could be half as long as it is if the authors would simply leave the good, hard facts and remove the touchy-feely stories of their own experience. A little anecdote can spice things up, but too many drown this book in unrelated experience.
That being said, this is a good comprehensive resource for ESL teachers. I used it to prepare for my Praxis II exam and was pleased. I would have liked to see at least one chapter dedicated to the different accepted ESL methodologies (Communicative, Silent Way, Suggestopedia, etc).
I have recommended this book to friends.
 Great for those who will become teachers, or for teachers seeking ESL knowledge. January 22, 2008
I am currently taking an ESL strategies and assessments course, and I have found this book absolutely helpful. Both for the person who is learning how to work with ESOL students, and for current teachers seeking strategies to incorporate into their classroom. The book contains specific classroom examples to use to enhance your ability to work with, and assess second language learners. There are several opportunities contained in the book for learning activities the students love to do, and will absolutely utilize. The strategies are clear and precise.
I had to purchase this book for my class, but this is a keeper, and I will enter it into my library.
Reading, Writing and Learning in ESL October 17, 2007
This book has been like a bible for my role as an English Language Literacy Coach in the professional development of teachers. The concepts presented are all research based and up to date and the authors give very specific examples of strategies that can be implemented in classrooms right away. We did a chapter study (Chapter Four on Oral Language Development) as a grade level team, right after receiving the book. We were very impressed with the activities that were suggested and the connections we made with things we were already doing. We also loved the companion website that goes with this book that gives resources and activities relating to each chapter. This book is highly recommended for K-12 teachers who have English Language Learners in their classrooms.
