The authors give teachers an insider's perspective on the literacy learning process of one English-language learner to help them develop a deeper understanding about working with these learners in a mainstream classroom. Teachers will discover the power of listening to and learning from their students as the acquisition and its impact on instruction for the English-language learners.
