Quality instruction requires an understanding of the language
demands of learning. This is an essential book that provides
extraordinary resources for educators, striking a chord with anyone
who cares about learning for all children (not just those who are
learning English as an additional language).

The second edition of What Teachers Need to Know About Language is
an outstanding volume that makes a significant contribution to the
field in so many ways, furthering our understanding of the issues
surrounding what teachers need to know about language to be
effective educators in today’s K12 public school climate. Reading
this book is like discovering a goldmine and I am eager to discuss
it with colleagues at my institution.
