Book Overview
Children from language backgrounds other than English represent a quarter of all our school population. Learning to Learn in a Second Language has been written specifically for all teachers of children for whom English is a second language, although it will be equally helpful to teachers of English speaking children. The book is based on the assumption that the classroom program is a major resource for language development, and that a responsive program takes into account the fact that children are not only learning a new language, but that they are learning in that language as well. It exemplifies current theories of second language development through a wide range of strategies and practical suggestions for the classroom teacher.

The information found in this book is in one word, practical. The author provides sample assessment tools, checklists, and helpful planning tools that may be implemented immediately in any classroom. She took the latest theories on second language acquisition and made them "user friendly". I find this little book to be a huge resource in my professional library - right next to Gardner, Wiggins, and Darling-Hammond.
