''As U.S. schools continue to enroll ever-increasing numbers of nonnative speakers of English, teachers of English as a second language and program administrators face the enormous challenge of developing students' academic skills at the same time they provide English-language instruction to limited English-proficient students. Dr.Crandall, codirector of professional development activities for the Center for Language Education and Research and director of the International and Corporate Education Division at the center for Applied Linguistics, brings together ESL practitioners and researchers in the major content areas to provide a review of program models, materials, and methods. The authors argue compellingly for the combined linguistic and academic gains to be attained through content-based language instruction.''
