Beth Skelton and Tan Huynh call for us to shift the long-term English learner (LTEL) label and mindset to honor multilinguals’ valuable life experiences and academic potential instead. Beth and Tan’s book, Long-Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals, offers a brilliant and accessible guide for cross-curricular implementation - designed explicitly for secondary content teachers.
Thank you to Tan, Beth, and Corwin, who are so generous in offering a 25% off PROMO CODE (C23104) for Long-Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals.
