Preserving the Cultural Identity of the English Language Learner
Karen Sumaryono and Floris Wilma Ortiz

In our enthusiasm for teaching English to English Language Learners, we often forget to celebrate the multiple cultures and languages in our classrooms. Sumaryono and Ortiz help us walk this fine line, offering advice, examples, and resources for maintaining a critical but often-overlooked area—cultural identity.

VM, Volume 11, Number 4, May 2004
