They are crafted in a way that facilitates comprehension and review of key concepts. The scenarios from teaching situations are outstanding and help to bring a strong applied component to the text.”-Deanna Nisbet, Regent University, Virginia “I do not feel that there are any other texts that compare to this text. There are several others that minimally cover the topics, however, no others provide the coverage and variety of the Peregoy and Boyle.”-Dorothy Craig, Middle Tennessee State University “The summary (with a vignette), suggestions for further reading (annotative bibliography), and activities at the end of each chapter are very appropriate. The practical activities, in particular, raise questions and require students to consider issues outside their immediate classroom.”-John Battenburg, California Polytechnic State University What’s New in the Fifth Edition?A fully updated and revised chapter on effective English learner instruction,including discussion of the 2006 TESOL standards, content-based instruction, and differentiated instruction and assessment (Ch. 3).Classroom examplesshowing how to implementdifferentiated instruction and assessmentfor oral language, emergent literacy, process writing, reading and literature, and content area literacy(Ch. 4-10).A brand-new chapter on vocabulary teaching and learning(Ch. 6), presenting current research and strategies such asvocabulary journals,word cards, andword wheels,with an emphasis on helping students understand and use new words for reading, writing, and subject matter learning.New material onvarieties of Englishspoken around the world as they relate to issues of power and prestige (Ch. 2).Revised sections on teacher, student, and schoolcultures in the classroomas they impact teaching and learning (Ch.1).Newsuggestions for further reading,updated in-class activities, and extension activities for use with the book’s companion website(www.ablongman.com/peregoy5e). To order this book WITH MyEducationLab, use either ISBN:ISBN-13: 9780205626847ISBN-10: 020562684XTo order this book WITHOUT MyEducationLab use either ISBN:ISBN-13: 9780205593248ISBN-10: 0205593240
