So Much to Say: Adolescents, Bilingualism, and ESL in the Secondary School

This ground-breaking volume is the first to bring together new research on adolescent learners of English within the secondary school context. Some of the most influential and well-known specialists in the field of language education share their research and knowledge about a wide range of issues in bilingualism and ESL, including curriculum planning and implementation of native language literacy; sheltered content teaching; language teaching; demographics; discrimination; and the social realities of culturally diverse classrooms and schools. Although this book is researched-based, it also offers practical advice for teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors--all of the authors discuss the implications of their work for helping immigrant and bilingual teenagers connect with and benefit from school. The text includes a unique glossary that defines commonly used words in secondary ESL/bilingual education and critiques these terms based on their implications for the field.
