Chapter 8: Teaching Teenagers who are still Learning English

The suggestion was “help us understand the secrets of book language.” Page 152 Things like chapter subheads, words that indicate comparisons, and where illustrations or charts fit in with the text. Also giving them a vocabulary list so they know what to look for will help. I never thought how a book is set up in English could be confusing. I am just so used to knowing what figure 15.3 means when I go to look for the graph. I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever encounter an ELL student in my classes.
