Teaching English Language Learners through Technology

Madrazo, Danielle

As the fourth book in the series Teaching Language Learners Across the Curriculum, this volume by Tony Erben, Ruth Ban, and Martha Castañeda serves as a straightforward and practical handbook for pre-service and in-service K-12 classroom teachers who have no formal pedagogical training in second language teaching. Whereas the previous books in the series focused on specific subject areas, Teaching Language Learners through Technology is relevant to all content areas and bridges linguistics, language learning research, and practical day-to-day teaching strategies to show educators how the use of technology in differentiated instruction can help facilitate language learning.
