The Crosscultural Language and Academic Development Handbook by Lynne T Diaz-Rico

The Crosscultural Language and Academic Development Handbook by Lynne T Diaz-Rico

The third edition of this popular handbook brings together theories, ideas, and resources for promoting crosscultural awareness, language development, and academic progress for English learners. It ties together culture and language in a comprehensive format and delves deeply into the educational challenges faced by classroom teachers. Written specifically for the mainstream teacher, the guide clearly shows the effects of cultural differences on learning and presents an excellent treatment of cultural diversity and learning styles. It comes at a time when more than two million students nationwide with limited English proficiency fill our classrooms – a time when today's teachers desperately need practical, effective resources to help these students succeed in school.
