The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) is planning a new edition of the What’s Different about Teaching Reading to Students Learning English publications. This research-based resource provides background readings and classroom activities to guide the literacy instruction of English learners. The materials are widely used in professional development services for teachers of English learners and in pre-service education courses. The full program offers a training of trainers manual with a curriculum to guide the professional development of classroom and ESL teachers who teach literacy in classes where some or all of the students are English learners.
CAL will be revising: the Study Guide (teacher workbook) and the Training of Trainers (TOT) manual (which includes a DVD, Why Reading is Hard and CD of presentation slides).
To ensure that the new edition meets the needs of its users (pre-service or in-service educators and their instructors), we are asking for your input. Your responses to the questions below will assist CAL and the contributing authors in developing a new edition. Please feel free to send additional comments to aduguay@cal.org
