I recently ordered the book, "The CALLA Handbook: Implementing the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach from the Amzon.com web site. I was stunned when the book arrived only two days after I placed my order. That was simply amazing! I found the book very interesting, instructive, and insightful. It is worth the price, and I am so glad I bought it.

From a student's point of view
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I was required to read this book for a university course. I found the CALLA method very interesting and I believe it would help in the classroom, but the book is very repetitive. I was bored to tears much of the time as I read through it cover to cover, which I was required to do. There is a basic theme (using content area materials in ESL classes) which is covered in the first few chapters, then the rest of the book is variations on the primary theme. An exciting novel it is not, but as a book you use for reference rather than reading cover to cover, I recommend it.
A must have for the serious ESL teacher

This book is a must have for those,who have moved beyond survival. When preparing my lesson plans, I always have this book opened. It is not for the new teacher, who wants a ready made lesson to teach on Monday. This book will make you look at your practice and teach you how to give kids the tools they need to succeed in their mainstream classrooms.
