內容簡介
《英語作為第二語言的課堂教學:從幼稚園到高三》是一部介紹將英語作為第二語言進行課堂教學的著作，作者Helene Becker獲ESL，教學碩士學位，擁有多年教授西班牙語和英語的經驗。英文原書共229頁，分為9章，是作者多年從事語言教學實踐和研究語言教學的成果。內容涉及到中國小ESL，教師在日常教學中遇到的問題和所要做出的決定。
E1se Hamayan在書中不時出現，為Helene評述。E1se曾在黎巴嫩教外語（即英語），自己也在學習英語。她作評論有兩個目的：一是考慮Helene的教育決策和教學技巧的理論基礎；二是提供ESL。教學更廣闊的社會和政治環境。E1se認為教師應當考慮到以下幾個問題：
1. 學生如何有效地利用第二語言獲得新概念？
2. 授課語言不流利時，教師如何幫助學生學習？
3. 對不同文化背景和語言背景的學生，校方該作何種安排，才能幫助他們學習英語、有關課程以及母語？
《英語作為第二語言的課堂教學:從幼稚園到高三(2009》是學前教育與基礎教育領域的教師、行政管理人員、教師培訓人員以及與教師培訓項目有關的工作人員的必讀書目，對在我國開展雙語教學有一定的參考價值。比如，我國學生學習英語，一是為了掌握英語這個交際工具，與外國人進行有效的交流；二是掌握英語學習其他必修的科目。在美國，對來自美語國家的學生來說，英語既是一門外語，又是授課語言。因此，教師不能獨立地教學英語。書中的觀點和實踐值得我們英語教師借鑑，對我國開展雙語教學有一定的指導意義。
