Running the gauntlet of grades from kindergarten to high school graduation and beyond (not yet at university), Lee lets his first vowel do the talking in support of LEA, a whole language approach that is decidedly antibasel. Shame that last year's batch of secondary ELA preservices were prejudiced against his advice, but I look forward to a Procrustean approach when I start teaching the next ones just what they want.

Support for adult language learners, whether they need to brush up on technical English to import home country skills or whether they want to enter the unenglish (perhaps überenglish?) academic environment, it is really up to the teachers they had along the way, many of whom have a disregard for new media technology despite the hopes of the recently included Chapter 8. A gap between language and literacy widen again.

Knowing two-thirds of the authorial team, especially I (LG), it was easier to get through the first four chapters which literally spell out issues with literacy for people whose initial language is not English. A dizzying array of E, L and other letters pepper a thoughtful discussion of why teaching or even determining English-language skills ain't easy. Chapter 4 is a cheat sheet for knowing the unenglished student.
