Hollingsworth, a researcher and trainer who provides staff development to schools on classroom instruction, and Ybarra, a researcher and former physics and chemistry teacher, principal, and assistant superintendent, outline a method, explicit direct instruction, for teachers in all grades and subjects to use to create and deliver lessons to English language learners. They describe lesson design and delivery, vocabulary development, language objectives, and how to make lessons more understandable, as well as English learners and their needs, how to check for understanding, and modifications for them; strategies for vocabulary development, language objectives, and content access; and how to integrate strategies into each part of a lesson. Sample lessons are included. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
