Educating Multilingual Learners

---

An updated edition offering a framework of best practices for the K–12 educators of the 5.3 million US students who are multilingual language learners In this wholly updated second edition of Educating Multilingual Learners, the authors streamline their easy-to-use protocols for teachers of multilingual learners so that they apply to students who are learning through any new language in any PreK–12 classroom context. The authors present the new, teacher-friendly Teaching All Subjects, Language, and Literacy (TASLL) Framework that can be implemented flexibly to meet the needs of multilingual learners in the classroom. Drawing from the latest research and culturally relevant pedagogy, this new edition illuminates for teachers why and how to use the full linguistic repertoire of multilingual learners. It also encourages a collaborative approach to classroom instruction, recommending simple first steps to educator partnerships. Throughout the book, the authors return to four case study students of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of language proficiency to show the TASLL Framework in action. Pre-service and in-service teachers will find this an invaluable resource for classroom teaching of multilingual language learners.
