If you teach where English language learners are a new phenomenon, you may feel underprepared to meet their needs and wonder if you can even teach them at all. You can, and English-Only Teachers in Mixed-Language Classrooms: A Survival Guide will lead you to success every step of the way.

English-Only Teachers in Mixed-Language Classrooms: A Survival Guide is just that: a brief, practical primer for your first ELL experience - and a warm, comforting companion on the journey into confident teaching.

Best of all, Yatvin zeroes in on smart ways to use classroom partnerships to invite English speakers and ELLs to support one anothers learning through child-to-child mentorships and peer tutoring.

Read English-Only Teachers in Mixed-Language Classrooms: A Survival Guide and discover that teaching second language learners is not only less scary than you might have thought, but that theres nothing quite like the satisfaction of helping children take their first steps into a new language.
