 * =Snyder ISD Book Study - //__Strategies for Teaching English Learners__//!=

**Welcome to the Wiki!**
There will be a question or topic posted each week that you will respond to under the DISCUSSION tab. I look forward to reading your responses!

//“One of the major strengths of this text is the cognitive/humanist/constructivist model adopted for teacher education. It is a thinking person’s text. It stimulates thinking about important issues, not just learning the technical part of teaching.” – **Oneyda M. Paneque, Barry University**//

//“This book should be required reading for any student/teacher preparing to teach in an ESL classroom. Díaz-Rico has written a wonderfully informative text that philosophically and pragmatically establishes guiding principles for ESL instruction in America both today and tomorrow.” – **John McAndrew, Kutztown University**//

//“The Díaz-Rico text provides a broad overview of both theory and praxis related to teaching English to speakers of other languages. Woven throughout the text is an emphasis on second language acquisition (SLA), as well as sociocultural considerations for educators of English learners. The author does a wonderful job of helping the reader understand the sociopolitical context in which English learning and teaching take place.” – **Deanna Nisbet, Regent University**//
