If you are a teacher, you know there are a lot of crappy teacher "resources" out there. This book is NOT one of them. I bought it as a requirement for a class and devoured it in a couple of days. As other reviewers have stated, it's great because it talks about the theories behind learning a second language through content in the classroom, but it doesn't go so in-depth as to bore you to death. ...             Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling Technology Products to Mainstream Customers1 review Geoffrey A.

Richard-Amato, Marguerite Ann Snow Pearson ESL, 2004 A decent anthology of recent scholarship As a means to access critical references in the field of designing instruction with English Language Learners in mind (in other words, its nice to have all these bibliographies in one place) this is exceeding valuable. Also serves as a good overview of the literature. As a course book it suffers from its "collection of work" nature for those who might be looking for a more coherent plan of ...             Alone in the Mainstream: A Deaf Woman Remembers Public School (Deaf Lives Series, Vol. 1)4 reviews Gina A.

Carrasquillo, Vivian Rodriguez Multilingual Matters Limited, 2002 Poor writing = poor book This book is a very difficult read, much like Carrasquillo's other books. It is not because the material is challenging or because Carrasquillo asks us to think at a high level. It is beause Carrsquillo's writing style is poor, and her ideas only halfway conceived. In this way, it continues in the tradition of her earlier works. (I have been unfortunate to read her books because I have worked ...             Criminal Justice: Mainstream and Crosscurrents (2nd Edition) (MyCrimeKit Series)1 review John Randolph Fuller Prentice Hall, 2009 Teacher's Edition A-OK My textbook came with a study guide, a test guide, and a Patriot Act booklet. I paid nearly nothing for it, and got so many extras!

They are in light blue, and the vocab is orange/black, so it ...             Margins and Mainstreams: Asians in American History and Culture1 review Gary Y.

Wadsworth Publishing, 1994 A Breeze of a Read Often most of the details that were included within the book were unnecessary and could have been left out.
