Eileen N. Whelan Ariza received her Ed.D. in Multilingual/Multicultural Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and her MAT in TESOL, Spanish as a Second Language, and her Bilingual/Multicultural Endorsement from the School of International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. A Teaching Fellow for many years at Harvard University's English Language Institute, she is a professor in Florida Atlantic University's teacher education program, and is ESOL Coordinator for the College of Education, where she prepares both prospective and current teachers in the undergraduate and graduate programs. A three time Fulbright Scholar to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Malta, Ariza has taught English as a foreign/second language methodology in several countries to teachers, and ESOL to students ranging from preschoolers to the elderly. Her primary research interests are in ESOL, both in the United States and overseas, cross-cultural communication, and preparation of mainstream teachers with English learners in their classroom. Ariza has authored and co-authored several popular textbooks (e.g., Not for ESOL teachers: What every classroom teacher needs to know about the linguistically, culturally, and ethnically diverse student. (3nd Ed). Boston, MA: Pearson; Why TESOL? Theories and issues in teaching English as a second language for K-12 teachers. (4th Ed.).
