Ecology and the Environment: A look at ...
Excellent educational resource for students who have difficulty extracting important points and explaining material from reading passages. Content is perfect for Environmental Science-HS. Walks students through the process of rewriting the material in their own words and making analogies. It is classified as ESL, but I find it useful for any student who has difficulty explaining content.

Susan M. Gass
Univ of Michigan Pr, 1996
Great book for ESL conversation classes!
This is a really useful book to introducing some of the basic principles of sociolinguistics to non-nativer speakers of English, such as register, dialect, and so on. The activities are interesting and will definitely spark conversation among students. It will also help them sort out the varieties of English they are exposed to in daily life, which may aid understanding and acquisition.
