| Title | New Book: Classroom Instruction That Works with English Language Learners |
| Body | From http://tinyurl.com/gzh6u Classroom Instruction That Works with English Language Learners by Jane D. Hill and Kathleen M. Flynn We have written this book to specifically provide you with strategies and tactics designed to address the needs of ELLs. Using the research from Classroom Instruction That Works (Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock, 2001)—itself a summary of findings from over 100 studies—we review nine categories of research-based instructional strategies that strongly affect student achievement. We examine these strategies in depth, and also look at the existing research on modifying these strategies for use with ELLs. When no relevant research exists on a given strategy, we rely on the generalizations from the research and the classroom recommendations from Classroom Instruction That Works. To that we add professional wisdom that comes from our experiences as ESL teachers and trainers. This book has two goals. The first is to provide you, the mainstream classroom teacher, with background knowledge on instructional strategies and practices that have been positively linked to student achievement. The second is to show you how these strategies can be modified to help ELLs acquire content and language skills. We sincerely hope this book will help make the job of reaching and teaching your steadily increasing population of ELLs less difficult and more rewarding.
