Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Linguistics for Teachers of Multilingual Learners introduces core linguistic concepts as they apply to classroom instruction for students learning English as an additional language. Aimed at preservice and in-service educators, the book addresses the language and literacy development of students acquiring English. The book explores fundamental knowledge about language required for effective classroom support informed by research on educational linguistics, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and teacher language awareness.From foundational linguistic concepts to their practical application in teaching multilingual learners, several chapters combine explanations of linguistic theory with examples relevant to classroom instruction. Topics include first and second language acquisition, phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Additional sections address classroom activities, scaffolding techniques, the use of digital tools, and considerations for linguistic diversity and inclusive classroom environments.Linguistics for Teachers of Multilingual Learners is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in teacher preparation, TESOL, or linguistics courses and for educators seeking applied methods for working with multilingual student populations.
