About the Book

Written in Diaz-Rico's passionate style and unparalleled in its market,TESOL Strategies portrays the point of view that successful English language learning results from a combination of rich, interesting content instruction and a fast-moving, engaging curriculum based on the functional use of crosscultural content in authentic social, educational, and cultural contexts. A breakthrough in language teaching and learning, this thought-provoking text includes a coverage of second language acquisition issues and techniques, as well as attention to such controversial topics as the influence of culture on schooling, the cultural practices of schooling, and the sociopolitical context of education.
