"Language Minority Students in American Schools: An Education in English is intended for students who are preparing to become teachers of English as a second language, and for teachers of other subjects who work with English language learners. Beyond the language acquisition theory and the teaching methods it introduces, a benefit of the text is the inclusion of scholarship related to teaching English as a second language that often is not included in English as a second language courses, such as teaching reading, English as a second dialect, and the teaching of mathematics and history."--Jacket.
