This is my favorite textbook from my ESl program thus far! I loved reading about the research pertaining to using native language alongside English language in the classroom to support the bilingual development of ESL students. This book provided encouragement and great tips for incorporating a positive language acquisition model into content based classrooms. 👌🏼
