Abstract	Schools and teacher education programs have begun to rethink preservice and inservice professional development to take into account the need for teachers to work effectively with students learning English. New approaches to teacher education are based on the belief that English language learners' access to challenging content can be enhanced through teaching strategies that provide multiple pathways to the understanding of language and content. Because students must use language to acquire academic content in mainstream classes, second language teaching must be integrated with the social, cultural, and political contexts of language use. This digest first provides a summary of some of the problems associated with traditional teacher education, including a failure to see the interconnectedness between first and second languages and cultures; fragmentation and isolation of language teaching and learning; view of language; paralyzing focus on methodology; and the disjuncture between language and culture. It then describes preservice and inservice programs that prepare teachers to work effectively with English language learners. (VWL)
