This useful guide presents frequently asked questions from ELL educators, and then provides targeted strategies to address each question. Topics include sociocultural issues, listening, speaking, reading, writing, parent communication, and classroom management.

While the instructional material in this follow-up to the elementary guide written by Samway and Taylor contains a fair amount of overlapping questions and strategies with the first book, there are a number of sociocultural themes covered that are particular to older students. Relevant topics include gender roles, student responsibility, slang, and cultural conflicts.
