Reviewing classroom recommendations from Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock's seminal Classroom Instruction That Works (2001) through an English language learning lens, Hill and Flynn, second-language education consultants, offer a guide to helping elementary students at all levels of English language acquisition. They outline strategies for homework and practice, summarization and note taking, and the use of nonlinguistic representations. For each strategy, they provide a summary of research, detailed examples of how to modify it for use with English language learners in mainstream classrooms, and real-life teacher accounts of its use. The authors also confront the cultural biases inherent in many classroom practices. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
