The fact that many Spanish speaking pupils are seriously limited in English or may not speak English at all presents a difficult problem for their teachers in English speaking schools. This document presents some of the current knowledge concerning the nature of language and how it is learned in non-technical terms. Examples of lessons, techniques, and materials are given which teachers can use to carry out the kind of systematic English program that is described. Annotated bibliographies present listings of books for teachers, instructional materials, charts and pictures, and equipment along with a bibliography of materials related to the teaching of English as a second language.
