Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners by Echevarria is a book that will teach English learners how to convert difficult thoughts into more easily digestible ones. It is not a book about vocabulary or grammar, rather it is a book about how language works. There are many different types of learning, but one of the most important aspects of learning is the ability to understand language and convert what we have heard into language that we understand. The best way to do this is to be able to identify the different types of language. This is one of the challenges for English learners.

For example, you may have heard someone say that they didn't understand a concept, so they asked someone else to repeat it to them. This person might have failed several times, but because he understood what he had heard several times, he has learned it. The student learned from repetition. The student did not fail the first time because he failed several times, but because he listened and repeated after the failure, he eventually learned that he had been trying to understand.
Making Content Compulsive for English Learners by Echevarria shows how to take things and transform them in a way that makes it easier to understand. The key to doing this is to think of words in new ways. Rather than having students memorize words and phrases from a text book, ask them to think about the meaning of those words. Students often get stuck because they are memorizing words that mean the same thing as other words in their dictionary. They cannot convert their thoughts on the spot and thus fail. Through this book, they will learn how to convert their thoughts and make them comprehensible.
