Summary

Using case studies, reflection questions, and research on course design, this book addresses the world language instructor and the diverse learner. Devoted to strategies based on Universal Design for Instruction, it serves as a valuable resource for all college instructors confronting a changing and diversifying world language classroom.

Additional text

All students can and should learn a second (or third!) language. Inclusive teaching practices help instructors anticipate and mitigate barriers for all students, not just those with disabilities. This approach has transformed the way that I teach Spanish and educate the next generation of language teachers.
