Editorial Review: Product Description:
- TESLEJ With ESL/EFL Teaching,Yvonne and David Freeman provide an expanded and updated revision of Whole Language for Second Language Learners. As in the original edition, the authors provide a readable explanation of second language teaching methodology supported by numerous classroom examples. In addition, the new edition includes detailed discussions and examples of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching as well as many scenarios from ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Throughout the new edition, which contains almost 50 percent new material, the emphasis is on teaching language through meaningful content. The Freemans contend that teaching practices based on sound principles are essential for English language learners. To set the stage for the principles, the authors provide an overview of orientations that ESL/EFL teachers have taken. They describe well-known language teaching methods that fit each orientation and then present the orientation that is most consistent with principles that lead to success. Each of the subsequent chapters develops these principles in detail. Major features of the book include: a readable discussion of orientations to language teaching and a description of traditional methods that have been used to teach a second or foreign language; recent research in ESL/EFL teaching and bilingual education; rich classroom scenarios taken from real classrooms; helpful charts, checklists, and lesson ideas for teachers to use in planning and evaluation; detailed descriptions of thematic teaching in ESL/EFL classrooms at different grade levels including bibliographies of relevant literature; and clear explanations of content-based approaches including sheltered English, ELD, and SDAIE.

 Rating: - Loved It!!I absolutely love this book. I was required to read it for a bilingual education class however the principles presented in it are true for any learner. Anyone that wants to be a teacher/educator should read this if they truly want their students to understand and apply the material presented to them. Rating: - A GREAT BOOK FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO TEACH ESOLI am using this book for my undergraduate class and I love it! It is quick reading and understandable. I just want to read more and more. It is a fasinating book. I would recommend this book for any future or current teachers who have ESOL students. They have great curriculum ideas. Buy it! You will not regret it! Rating: - This is what you should do this Friday nightFreeman and Freeman have done a superb job of writing an informative text filled with theory AND practical application. I am now able to better defend my belief of bilingual education. I am also better able to teach my students in that I have a new set of ideas for lesson plans. This was an easy read. In fact, I could not put it down and read it cover to cover one very late Friday evening/Saturday morning. It is inspirational! This is an excellent book and I highly recommend ... Read More
