The number of English-language learners in U.S. schools continues to grow rapidly, posing pedagogical, linguistic, and logistical challenges for teachers. In this free live chat, Larry Ferlazzo and Katie Hull Sypnieski, co-authors of the recently published The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide: Ready-to-Use Strategies, Tools, and Activities for Teaching English Language Learners of All Levels, discussed best practices and strategies for working with second-language students and answered your questions on specific issues and challenges in ELL instruction. They also talked about ways to improve your practice and create greater learning opportunities for all your students.
Larry Ferlazzo is an award-winning English and social studies teacher at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, Calif., and the author of several books on teaching. He writes Education Week Teacher's Classroom Q&A blog, as well as the popular Websites of the Day blog on his own site.
