"This much needed volume focuses on preparing quality teachers for children who arrive in American schools without speaking English. Outstanding researchers in the area of English language learning describe the challenges facing teachers who have not been prepared to educate youngsters who do not understand them, the politics surrounding the education of these youngsters, and the high cost of leaving newly-arrived immigrant children behind.

[It] challenges us not only to think, but to act, and the authors provide us with some excellent pathways to follow." Donna Christian Center for Applied Linguistics, From the Foreword
