Sousa, a consultant on educational neuroscience, author, workshop conductor, and former teacher and administrator, describes research on how the brain of an English language learner deals with linguistic reorganizations when learning another language after the age of five. He details strategies for teaching them listening and speaking, reading and writing, language arts and social studies, and math and science in K-12 classrooms, in addition to recognizing and addressing problems like learning disabilities.
