Summary:
"As teachers, we take the language of school --academic language--for granted. But for many of our students, academic language is more than a new language. It is the make-or-break skill for school success. This exciting and much-needed book shows how teachers can help students become fluent, confident speakers of academic language"--P. [4] of cover.
