This resource for secondary school ELA and ELL teachers brings together compelling insights into student experiences, current research, and strategies for building an inclusive writing curriculum. The ELL Writer expands the current conversation on the literacy needs of adolescent English learners by focusing on their writing approaches, their texts, and their needs as student writers. Vivid portraits look at tangible moments within these students’ lives that depict not only the difficulties but also the possibilities that they bring with them into the classroom. The case studies are complemented by findings from current research studies by second-language writing specialists that will inform today’s classroom teachers.

Book Features:

  • Activities, writing prompts, and teaching tips to support ELL learning in mainstream classes.
  • Personal stories and voices of ELL writers, along with examples of student writing.
  • A focus on teacher responses, revision strategies, and assignment design.
  • Clear connections among current research, student experiences, and the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for English language learners
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017
One of the many aspects of this book that makes it so valuable is the word "writer" in its title, for that one simple word speaks volumes about the author’s teaching philosophy. Among the dozens of useful ideas in the *The ELL Writer* is the notion that, in order for English language learners to become proficient in English, they must see themselves as writers—and we, as their teachers, must demonstrate that we value the unique linguistic and cultural assets that they bring to the classroom and to their writing.

Ortmeier-Hooper foregrounds the power of affect in the teaching of writing, and her pedagogy reflects the high value she places on student self-efficacy. Throughout this relatively slim book (how did she pack so much wisdom and practice into just 197 pages?), we come to know the ELL writers who participated in Ortmeier-Hooper’s research; she includes biographical sketches of each participant, thus illustrating the rich diversity that ELL students bring to their writing. This technique invests her scholarship with power and humanity.

Perhaps even more importantly, Ortmeier-Hooper explains her pedagogy with a sense of clarity and fluency rarely seen in scholarly discourse. Her ideas are complex and challenging yet sensible—and they are effective enough to be used with all writers, not just ELL writers. In addition to demystifying many of the hurdles of teaching writing to ELL students, Ortmeier-Hooper offers a wealth of practical strategies that will succeed in any writing class. Informed by both the process model of writing and a munificent sense of empathy for students, this book should become a mainstay of every writing instructor’s professional library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing Chart
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022
There is a chart missing on page 121. This chart was actually really important because it was supposed to be the base of an assignment in my college class.
