Imagine being asked to write an essay in a language you don't know well or at all, to have to express yourself grammatically and clearly. In this book the author challenges deficit models of English Language Learners (ELL) and multilingual writers and offers techniques to help teachers to identify their students' strengths and develop inclusive research-based writing practices that are helpful to all students. --
