Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The most up-to-date and practical handbook for ESL and ELL education

"An engaging, practical, and highly accessible book. The authors share strategies that have been proven effective through research as well as their own practice. There is truly something valuable for any teacher, even those who have extensive experience with ESL classes."
—PIA WONG, Professor, Bilingual/Multicultural Education, California State University, Sacramento

"This is an invaluable resource for all new and experienced teachers who desire to see their language learning students thrive and achieve at high levels."
—DANA DUSBIBER, Classroom teacher with over 30 years of experience working with ELLs

In the freshly updated second edition of The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide, a pair of renowned ESL teachers delivers a collection of practical strategies for setting up an ESL-friendly classroom, motivating and interacting with students, communicating with students’ parents, and navigating the challenges associated with teaching ESL students.

This newest edition includes over 150 pages of new content, including new chapters on working with long-term English language learners, teaching English internationally, working with elementary-age students, teaching math and science to English language learners, incorporating Common Core standards, and updating research and technology connections.

The book offers instructional strategies and student handouts not found anywhere else, as well as sections on assessment, Social Emotional Learning, Culturally Responsive Teaching, and many more.

An indispensable resource for general education teachers and ESL specialists teaching grades six through twelve, The ESL/ELL Teacher’s Survival Guide also deserves a place in the libraries of resource specialists, special education teachers, elementary educators, and the teachers of adult ESL classes.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I teach English, Social Studies and International Baccalaureate classes to English Language Learners and English-proficient students at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, California.

I've written or edited thirteen books on education: The ELL Teacher's Toolbox (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Navigating The Common Core With English Language Learners (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Building A Community Of Self-Motivated Learners: Strategies To Help Students Thrive In School and Beyond; Classroom Management Q&As: Expert Strategies for Teaching; Self-Driven Learning: Teaching Strategies For Student Motivation; The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide (with co-author Katie Hull Sypnieski); Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers To Classroom Challenges; English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies That Work; and Building Parent Engagement In Schools (with co-author Lorie Hammond). Katie Hull and I also edited a series of books on Math, Science and Social Studies that are modeled on our ELL Teacher's Toolbox. A second edition of the ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide was recently published. The Student Motivation Handbook is my newest book.

My other writing includes a popular education blog at http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/ , a weekly teacher advice column for Education Week Teacher and a series of posts for The New York Times. My articles on education policy regularly appear in the Washington Post. In addition, my articles have appeared in publications such as ASCD Educational Leadership, Social Policy, and Language Magazine.

I've won several awards, including the Leadership For A Changing World Award from the Ford Foundation, and was the Grand Prize Winner of the International Reading Association Award for Technology and Reading.

You can check out three hundred radio show segments I've done on BAM! Education Radio.

I was a community organizer for nineteen years prior to becoming a public school teacher.

In the personal area, I'm married and have three children and four grandchildren.

A basketball team I play for has come in last place every year since 2014, so I should not give up my day job for a career in sports.

Several years ago I bought and read the first edition. The second edition is a complete upgrade! It’s worth a new copy! The second edition is loaded with valuable new content. I recommend this book for brand new teachers who work with multilingual learners AND for teachers who have been doing it for decades! I’ve been in education for 25 years and learned tons from this edition.

I taught ESL for 30 years and now retired. This book, by two ESL teacher/authors is amazing for the amount of knowledge, techniques, and scope of learning that went into it. I would recommend it for any beginning ESL teacher, or any experienced one or anyone considering teaching ESL, in the U.S. or overseas. I would think it would be a standard requirement for teacher training programs. It's all good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for ESL teachers abroad, overpriced for Kindle
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023
Verified Purchase
The book is very well researched and an excellent resource for ELL teachers working in the United States or other western countries. I definitely acquired some new methods from this book, and I will continue to consult it. However, I am an English teacher in Asia, and I found that probably 60% of the content in the book just doesn't apply to my students. This is a book for teachers helping students who are learning English in a new country. I teach classes of 40+ students who have no intention of becoming proficient in English, they just want to be entertained and pass their test. I found out that what I really needed was some more ideas for games to play, and I could have gotten that for free on Google.

It's a great book for the customer it was written for, but I am not that reader. Either way, I have great respect for the co-authors. I can tell that they are very passionate about teaching, and that enthusiasm definitely rubbed off on me.

Also, it hurt a little bit to pay more than $20 for a digital book. Maybe I wouldn't feel that I had wasted my money if it was a physical copy, but wow... it's a bit of a steep price just to feel slightly enlightened for a week.

Most of this book can be found elsewhere and everything has been said before but it is also a good way to refresh a teacher’s knowledge and the author is a reassuring, compassionate writer. Very pro student.
