Creative writing is a tool that can inspire second language learners to write more, play with language, and enjoy and improve not only their writing, but also their speaking, listening, and reading skills. Addressing the expectations and perceptions of writing in another language, Thorpe demonstrates how to foster successful creative writing environments and teach and assess creative writing in a way that is tailored to the distinct needs of non-native speakers.
This is a book on how to leverage our ELs' full linguistic repertoires in the ELA classroom, while remaining sensitive to those barriers that could restrict learning.

The newly revised 2nd Edition includes brand new chapters on: Working with Long-Term English Language Learners; Teaching English internationally; Teaching Elementary Age ELLs; Teaching Adult ELLs; Teaching ELLs with learning challenges; Culturally Responsive Instruction; Effective online instruction; Working with co-teachers and para-professionals.
