What's
Different About Teaching Reading to Students Learning English? | Dorothy Kauffman |
Published by the Center for Applied Linguistics and Delta Publishing Company
What’s Different about Teaching Reading to Students Learning English? provides teacher trainers with a curriculum to guide the professional development of classroom and ESL teachers who teach reading in classes where some or all of the students are English language learners.
This widely used professional development tool now includes a revised and enhanced trainer’s manual, a new study guide for use by individual teachers, and a DVD of the popular video, Why Reading is Hard.
-
The 2007 edition of the Trainer's Manual contains everything needed to conduct trainings ranging from one or more workshops to a full graduate course. The workshop format is flexible and may follow different schedules depending on school or district needs.
-
The new Study Guide includes activities, materials, and readings for use by workshop participants and serves as a practical, follow-up resource to help teachers reinforce knowledge and skills acquired during the workshop.
-
The video, Why Reading is Hard, provides information about the factors that make learning to read in English difficult for English language learners and leads viewers to examine the reading skills they know and use automatically. The video presents samples of children reading aloud for viewers to critique and develop plans for instruction.
