This book provides teacher candidates and practicing teachers a rich collection of chapters that will support their work with English language learners. Unique is the inclusion of cross-linguistic analyses of a wide range of different languages used by English language learners in U.S. schools (including Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Urdu). Each chapter's focus on how linguistic similarities and differences affect English as a second language learning and the implications for teaching makes this book an excellent resource.--Ester J. de Jong, EdD, University of Colorado-Denver
