This book is just what I&#8217;ve been looking for! Each strategy is presented with a brief summary of the research behind it, practical methods to apply it to any classroom at any grade level, and examples of the strategy at work in two different classrooms. As an ESL teacher, I plan to use this book as a valuable resource throughout the school year. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the title, though: these strategies will help all your students, not just English language learners. Teachers and tutors will enjoy using these ideas with their students. &#8211;\u00a0<span><strong>Jeremy\u00a0<\/strong><span><strong>Aldrich<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>This book was a required text for graduate classes in teaching English as a Second Language. This book while simple and has fifty strategies is really for professional educators as the &#8220;lingo&#8221; may not mean the same to a non-teacher. The strategies employed could be used in even a regular\/mainstream classroom, especially if you want to do something a little different. This is not the most thrilling book in the world, but then again, neither are lesson plans. I used it for ideas more than anything. &#8211;\u00a0<span><strong>Kyra_Athena<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>This book was worth the money. It is appropriate for secondary teachers (and many things out there are geared more toward elementary). It has a brief introduction to the theory behind the text in the beginning and then the rest is pratctical, skill-based lessons\/activites for English Language Learners. As a language arts teacher, my only minor disappointment was that some of the lessons are geared more toward general content areas like social studies and science, but there is still plenty of good stuff for me to use. &#8211;\u00a0<span><strong>J.\u00a0<\/strong><span><strong>Smith<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ELT book of the week for the third issue of ELTWeekly is: \u201cFifty Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners (3rd Edition)\u201d by\u00a0Adrienne L.
