This is an excellent resource for teaching multilingual learners. It contains clear explanations of research-based theory and practices, and reading it has helped me to be a more intentional teacher. My only complaint is the cost of the book. I was able to rent it from the publisher for a hefty but manageable cost, but I would love to be able to purchase a physical copy as a resource. However, the cost puts it far outside of my budget as a new teacher.
