Choosing Democracy

Not for ESOL Teachers
by Eileen N. Ariza
Engaging and pragmatic, this new text is a welcome resource for teachers with diverse student populations! Distilling strategies and insights gathered over years of success, Dr. Whelan Ariza equips mainstream teachers with the background, understanding, and methods needed to teach effectively in culturally diverse classrooms. She explores several cultural groups in-depth, giving mainstream teachers an understanding of how students' cultural values are expressed in beliefs and behaviors. Understanding why students behave the way they do—and how our American cultural lens may cause misperceptions—helps teachers to respond appropriately and promotes congruity between teacher and student interaction. Building on this foundation of understanding, the author describes effective instructional practices that mainstream teachers may use to address a range of classroom scenarios, including detailed examples of how to modify curriculum for English learners with various levels of language proficiency. Key Features: Vignettes near the beginning of many chapters with authentic examples of behaviors English language learners may demonstrate in the classroom. Clarification of issues and differences between bilingual instruction and teaching English learners in the mainstream classroom. Assessment issues and strategies for evaluating English language learners are included throughout the book. Packed with guidelines and examples of how to modify content for the English learner. Questions for discussion and activities at the end of each chapter. Sample assignments for the university or college classroom. A detailed chart containing the National K-12 ESOL Students Standards , located in the Appendix. What the reviewers have to say: “The author seems to know the current teaching situations very well, has a clear goal,and the book is very comprehensive and clearly written. Great combination of research and practical applications...easy to implement and very helpful information, especially for educators who have limited knowledge in dealing with English Language Learners.” Grace Cho Choi , California State University-Fullerton “The feature I like the best in this document is the inclusion of case studies that illuminate the pressing issues in educating immigrant students. This manuscript can be an excellent resource for the educator.” Irma Guadarrama , University of Houston About the Author: Dr. Eileen N. Whelan Ariza's expertise is teaching mainstream teachers the basic knowledge and background they need to succesfully instruct a range of English-proficient language learners in the mainstream classroom. An associate professor of TESOL at Florida Atlantic University, she has published a number of articles in professional journals and co-authored several popular books and workbooks such as, Why TESOL? Theories and Issues in Teaching ESOL for K-12 teacher, Second Edition (Kendall Hunt, 2000), and Fundamentals of Teaching ESOL in K-12 Mainstream Classroom (Kendall Hunt, 2002).
