Teaching in Two Languages
A Guide for K–12 Bilingual Educators

Foreword by Ofelia García



April 2010 | 200 pages | Corwin
Teaching in Two Languages is a hands-on practitioner's guide to the challenges of teaching bilingually to the ever-growing population of English Language Learners (ELLs) in today's schools.

This invaluable resource addresses emerging models of bilingual education such as two-way immersion and heritage language programmes, in addition to programme models that are limited to serving ELLs. Sharon Adelman Reyes and Tatyana Kleyn have organized the book around essential questions asked by practicing teachers and backed up by compelling vignettes based on actual schools and teachers across the U.S.

"Speaking directly to bilingual teachers, Reyes, Kleyn, and their contributors deliver a passionate, practical, and loving approach to teaching children whose first language is other than English. This book will be a source of both inspiration and practical strategies for those who are educating our newest emergent bilingual citizens."
