Rezensionen

"For too long, U.S. higher education has viewed 'ESL Students' as a homogenous (and needy) population. This volume explicitly challenges such views and encourages us to see the successes of ESL students as integral to the wider success of the institution. Going further, it provides accessible resources for collective thinking on how to promote such success."

Dudley W. Reynolds, Carnegie Mellon University Qatar

"This important and timely volume combines literacy skills (reading and writing), which are often separated in books on second language learners. It will be useful for TESL programs as well as a reference for other higher ed administrators looking to support second language students at their institutions."

Sarah Rilling, Kent State University, USA
