More and more teachers face the challenge of teaching social studies to students whose native language is not English. The authors of this book have designed it specially to help social studies teachers do so successfully. The first part of the book enables teachers to understand the process of acquiring a second language and how to deal with students engaged in that process. The second identifies good topics for social studies classes that include ESL students, and offers detailed, ready-to-use lesson plans. This book is a must for social studies teachers whose classes include ESL students.
