Accessible and hands-on, this textbook provides a comprehensive
introduction to teaching language through content, an approach
known as Content-Based Language Teaching (CBLT). A content-based,
language-focused approach to teaching in the disciplines is
essential to serving the language and disciplinary needs of English
learners (ELs) in the classroom. Guided by learning standards and
informed by research, this book demonstrates how content materials
in the English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, Science, and
Social Studies can be harnessed to develop the English language
proficiency of ELs as well as advance their disciplinary knowledge
and skills. Using content materials in ELA, Mathematics, Science,
and Social Studies as a starting point, this textbook illustrates
how to teach English as an additional language effectively by
integrating language instruction with disciplinary teaching. It
showcases numerous learning and instructional activities, complete
with targeted language exemplified in sentential and discourse
contexts, direct instruction, teacher modeling, guided and
individual practices, and assessments, which are further backed up
by detailed discussions of their goals, rationales, and
implementation. This textbook also features a discussion of
differentiation to address the varied needs of students. To further
assist readers in determining how to incorporate language
instruction, Peng identifies extensive possibilities for language
teaching that are based on the same content materials and beyond
those targeted by sample learning activities. Each chapter ends
with three types of exercises-multiple-choice questions, open-ended
discussion questions, and problems of application-to bolster
understanding, promote reflection, and encourage application.
Complementing the book are additional online resources, including
ready-to-use PowerPoints, which are available on the book's webpage
at Routledge.com/9780367521134. Covering key issues such as
characteristics of effective language instruction, differentiation,
and the challenges associated with CBLT, this is an essential text
in TESOL methods and content-area language teaching, as well as an
invaluable resource for pre-service and in-service ESL/EFL teachers
and content-area teachers who are interested in furthering their
students' language and literacy development.
