`This book is very helpful not only to LEP teachers, but also to administrators who are responsible for setting up a programme - Arlene Myslinski, High School ESL Teacher, Buffalo Grove High School, Illinois

Structured English Immersion (SEI) offers Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) children an ideal format in which to learn. The goal is for these children to gain fluency in English as quickly as possible in a non-threatening setting and to move gradually into the mainstream. The author illustrates how SEI blends English grammar and vocabulary instruction with the teaching of content and provides concrete ideas and practical classroom examples for teachers and administrators who want to use SEI methodology.
