Freeman, David E. Freeman - Many middle school and high school students are recent immigrants or long-term English language learners who struggle with the academic language needed to read content-area textbooks and write papers for their classes. Likewise, many native speakers of English find content-area classes a challenge. Secondary teachers have little time to teach academic reading and writing skills because they must cover a great deal of content in their social studies, science, math, or language arts classes Books & Videos/DVDs: Professional Development > English Language Learners jgordon Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:24:09 GMT http://www.corwinpress.com/booksProdDesc.nav?prodId=Book226379& Our own Margo Gottlieb of the IRC receives high praise for her new book, Corwin Press, publisher.

Their challenge was adapting to a new home and a new language. Hers was helping them use English literacy skills to bridge their memories of China to their hopes for the future, as they came to value both their old and their new cultures. Through case studies and classroom vignettes Barbieri reveals the power of literacy to change students' perspectives and give them hope.
