Bilingual and ESL Classrooms ( Teaching in Multicultural Contexts)


This fifth edition of Bilingual and ESL Classrooms is a very different text from the first, second, third, and fourth editions published in 1985, 1998, 2003, and 2006, respectively. Since the release of the first three editions, the field has matured dra- matically, and the research knowledge upon which it is based has expanded enor- 
mously. We think this is good news! In writing this fifth edition, we have worked  hard to continue providing an accurate, carefully written, and detailed overview of 
our field and the research on which it is based.


The major goal of this book continues to be to take a comprehensive look at
research, policy, and evidence-grounded effective practices in U.S. schools for stu-
dents who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The demo- graphic predictions still are that students with close connections to their bilingual/ bicultural heritages (now labeled “English language learners” by the federal gov- ernment, with this label being widely used in the field) will be very large in num- 
ber in the near future, becoming the majority in many states over the next two decades (see Chapter 1). 

Thus, we educators urgently need to provide appropri- ate, meaningful, and effective schooling for these students, who too often have been underserved by U.S. schools. This book speaks to all educators, with the goal 
of providing rich examples of effective practices and their underlying research knowledge base.
