About this title

Synopsis

In the United States, the number of children who come from homes where they

speak languages other than English is rising. Despite the common misperception

that dual language learners are slower learners or have special needs, research

shows that they have better executive function and cognitive skills. Their brains

are doing double duty!

Strength in Diversity: A Positive Approach to Teaching Dual Language

Learners in Early Childhood offers teachers context, practical advice, and

strategies to help young dual language learners thrive. Teaching dual language

learners isn't just about classroom methods. It's about empathy, perspective,

patience, and high expectations. Learn:

�� Who young dual language learners are

�� The basics of second-language acquisition

�� Effective teaching strategies and principles of instruction

�� How to honor a home language as you support English learning

�� Ways to engage the families of dual language learners
