The book encourages each reader to develop a personal approach to language teaching. A much-needed resource in an era when all mainstream classroom teachers need to always be focusing on language, Becoming a Language Teacher recognizes that the development of academic literacy is the goal of many language teachers and essential to the school success of English language learners&#8211;unlike most methods books, which concentrate on language for communication purposes rather than for academic needs. Employing a warm and supportive tone, respected author Elaine K. Horwitz clearly explains fundamental knowledge about second language acquisition and language teaching, as well as answers to practical questions such as: How do I plan a lesson? How will I know if the students are learning? How do I teach language when I am also teaching content material? How do I effectively use technology in language teaching? How can I ensure the academic success of my students?By considering actual classroom situations, readers learn how to make instructional decisions in their own teaching settings.<\/div>\n<div><strong>From the Back Cover<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>A much-needed resource in an era when all mainstream classroom teachers need to be constantly focusing on language,\u00a0<em>Becoming a Language Teacher<\/em>\u00a0recognizes that the development of\u00a0<em>academic literacy<\/em>\u00a0is the goal of many language teachers and essential to the school success of English language learners\u2013unlike most methods books, which concentrate on language for communication purposes rather than for academic needs.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Reviewers Praise this New Addition to the ELL\/EFL field:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strength of this book is the practical suggestions that it provides as far as teaching writing, reading, listening, and speaking to second and foreign language learners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>\u2013Eva Yerende, University of Texas at Arlington<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe style of writing is very readable and comprehensible.\u00a0 The author includes activities and strategies that many students want and need to help them connect to theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>\u2013Carol L.
