The Complexity and Possibilities of Educating the English Language Student","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a story about English language learners - one in particular - and a reflection on what we, as educators, can do to promote their success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs educators, were faced every day with the question of how to teach the thousands - many thousands - of children who arrive in our schools as immigrants and refugees, coming with no English, from cultural backgrounds so different from Americas, often from impoverished households and often from households where education of the kind we know was completely absent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur work as educators is to help these children start to climb the wall that stands between their past, wherever and however that was lived, and a future in America, where their education will prepare them to take advantage of the same opportunities everyone else here enjoys.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not an easy job. But its one we cant afford to get wrong. And this is not a small corner in our education system today. The number of English language learners in U.S. school systems is large and growing. And the educators involved in teaching this exceptional population include basically everyone, not just those teachers with direct classroom contact. When theyre in the building, the entire school is the English language learners world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"JOHN CATT EDUCATIONAL LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185289167122,"sku":"9781398388673","price":34.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781398388673.jpg?v=1774734868","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781398388673","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
