Readers’ Reviews:

S. Gorman (Arizona, USA)

“I bought this book to go with a 5-day, 45-clock-hour SEI course. We’ve actually done some of the activities in class and the majority require planning, but not too much prep time. The book is well-written and organized in a logical fashion. A good resource for teachers who deal with a lot of ELL students (like here in central AZ.)”

Heidi Fishel (Indianapolis, IN United States)

“This book is like the bible for teaching ESL!!! There are 99 strategies (hence the title) that each have content and language objectives (when appropriate). LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!”
