>Hello!

>You might be interested in two books dealing with ESOL. First, Helen
>Sunderland and Marina Spiegel's book on teaching ESOL and literacy.
>Spiegel, M. and H. Sunderland (2006) Teaching basic literacy to ESOL
>learners: A teacher’s guide. London: LLU+.
>Here is a link to a flyer/order form for the book (note: this is a .pdf
>file)

>http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/lluplus/docs/a_teachers_guide_flyer.pdf
>
>I see Spiegel and Sunderland’s book on teaching literacy to ESOL students
>as fulfilling a massive need in ESOL. Many ESOL learners are acquiring
>literacy for the first time, as adults, and in a new langauge. The problems
>they face are enormous, as are those faced by their teachers.
>
>The second is Kathy Pitt’s book:
>Pitt, K. (2005) Debates in ESOL teaching and learning: Culture, communities
>and learning. Abingdon: Routledge (New approaches to adult language,
>literacy and numeracy series).
>
>This is a book for practitioners about theory and research associated with
>adult ESOL. There are five chapters, on language learning, changing
>definitions of the good language learner, multilingualism, learning the
>written langauge and learning the spoken language. Each chapter contains a
>number of readings, extracts from key literature, and relates them to adult
>ESOL in the UK.
