This book enables teachers to support Grades 6-12 ELLs as they meet
ambitious Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. It
provides concrete ideas for engaging language learners in a range
of intellectually rich tasks designed to sharpen their content
knowledge and academic English. The chapters weave together several
themes that will help ELLs succeed in the English Language Arts.
Attention to complex texts: ELLs need to engage meaningfully with
complex texts to develop their language and literacy skills.
Developing academic language within classroom contexts: In order
for ELLs to learn academic language, they must learn it in the
context of intellectually engaging tasks that enable them to read
complex texts. Independent comprehension and learner autonomy:
These are achieved through specific pedagogical practices that
involve scaffolding, close reading and meaningful language use.
Each chapter provides Reflection Questions and Action Plans that
are useful for practicing teachers, preservice teachers, graduate
students, academics, researchers and professional development
providers.
