Primary Language Impact on Second Language and Literacy Learning: Linguistically Responsive Strategies for Classroom Teachers provides educators with foundational knowledge on how students’ native languages influence their learning of English language and literacy. Linguistically diverse students increasingly populate current classrooms, and it is important for educators to have general linguistic and cross-linguistic knowledge to provide students with equitable access to the language and content of school. By discussing English language learners’ (ELLs) primary language norms, positive and negative transfer, and culturally sustaining resources, this book helps educators understand how to support ELLs’ use of
their primary language as an asset when engaging in English language and literacy learning experiences.

This book provides teacher candidates and practicing teachers a rich collection of chapters that will support their work with English language learners. Unique is the inclusion of cross-linguistic analyses of a wide range of different languages used by English language learners in U.S. schools (including Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Urdu). Each chapter’s focus on how linguistic similarities and differences affect English as a second language learning and the implications for teaching makes this book an excellent resource.
