Utilizing a balanced approach to holistic learning and strategic learning, this innovative text includes case studies from all content areas to paint an exciting picture of the power of language-based teaching to enhance learners' motivation.

With more emphasis on technology, updated research on students with special needs, and expanded coverage on content area literacy, this refreshing text shows future teachers how to transform uninspired students into active learners.
