LTELs are adolescents who are primarily or solely educated in the U.S. and yet remain identified as \"learning English\" in secondary school. Challenging the deficit perspective that is often applied to their experiences of language learning, Brooks counters incorrect characterisations of LTELs and sheds light on students’ strengths to argue that effective literacy education requires looking beyond policy classifications that are often used to guide educational decisions for this population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy combining research, theory, and practice, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of literacy pedagogy to facilitate teacher learning and includes practical takeaways and implications for classroom practice and professional development. Offering a pathway for transforming literacy education for students identified as LTELs, chapters discuss reframing the education of LTELs, academic reading in the classroom, and the bilingualism of students who are labelled LTELs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransforming Literacy Education for Long-Term English Learners\u003c\/i\u003e is a much-needed resource for scholars, professors, researchers, and graduate students in language and literacy education, English education, and teacher education, and for those who are looking to create an inclusive and successful classroom environment for LTELs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608213078252,"sku":"9781138558106","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/dc216ce104eb7c59f2cc921cdb566d27.jpg?v=1778202141"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/maneka-deanna-brooks.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
