Not for ESOL Teachers: What every classroom teacher needs to know about the linguistically, culturally, and ethnically diverse student provides the basics and background information needed to teach English learners in the classroom. This publication continues to be a labor of love for the student who is learning through a foreign language. It has tremendous affection, respect, and compassion for the mainstream teacher who is not a trained teacher of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL).

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.). Dubuque, IA: Kendall/Hunt Publishing, and over 85 peer reviewed publications.
“Not for ESOL Teachers: What Every Classroom Teacher Needs to Know About the Linguistically, Culturally, and Ethnically Diverse Student is a treasure trove of information and resources for ESL/ESOL teachers, classroom teachers in elementary and secondary education, as well as for, pre-service, teachers in training at colleges and universities. The author and team of contributors interweave their first-hand experiences with up-to-date theory and research. While I use this book as a reference guide, there are discussion questions and activities at the end of each chapter that can aid the reader in processing the information that has been shared. The seven appendices provide some wonderful lists of resources, teaching methods and strategies, sample lessons, and lesson analysis and planning formats that I also use regularly.
As an ESL teacher in a middle school and high school, I have used this book to broaden my knowledge of cultural groups, and cross-cultural understandings. I have also used various chapters and resources from the appendixes to support colleagues teaching in the mainstream as well as non-instructional staff members in the school community so they better understand and are able to better meet the needs of our diverse student body.
As a university adjunct professor of education since 2012, I have used this book as a text and resource with my students because key topics regarding instructional strategies and assessment are also well covered. In addition, a comprehensive glossary supports the reader, and list of references that can guide the reader as they extend their learning.“
