Children who enter your classroom whose native language is not English are an asset to your learning environment. However, do you understand the intensive processes of acquiring English and learning academic content at the same time? David Sousa wrote How the ELL Brain Learns to help teachers or others interested in brain research on language learning understand the daily complexities and challenges a student may encounter. If delicate brain processes required to master a language, teaching listening or speaking to ELLs, or receiving specific tips for teaching academic content sound intriguing, this book will add a greater depth of knowledge in understanding your English language learner students.
