The Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Handbook:

Here is a thoroughly up-to-date edition of a best-selling handbook that is recognized for its guidance in helping teachers to promote academic success for the culturally and linguistically diverse learners in today’s classrooms. Designed specifically for mainstream classroom teachers, the book clearly shows how second-language acquisition affects learning, and presents an excellent treatment of cultural diversity and learning styles.

"The Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Handbook is a useful and clearly written text, it is a text that will prove to be resource and guide for practicing teachers." - Terah Moore, George Fox University

"Current research is presented in a user-friendly way with excellent real life examples and thought provoking questions/activities. The content of the book is logically developed and covers the affective areas as well as the cognitive areas. All key issues related to teaching English language learners are presented in a cohesive manner." - Camie Modjadid, Moravian College
