During the past two decades, several changes have transformed core
practices of teacher educators. One of the most salient changes
pertains to dramatic shifts in school demographics. In practically
every state in the United States, primary, elementary, middle, and
high schools are experiencing expanding enrollments of students
whose primary language is not English. Recent demographic data show
that linguistically and culturally diverse students constitute an
increasingly strong presence in our schools and communities. There
are approximately 5 million ELs in the U.S., and this number is on
the rise. It is estimated that two-thirds of these students are in
at least one course taught by general education teachers. Growth in
K-12 EL enrollment has skyrocketed in the past 20 years. One in 20
public K-12 students was an EL in 1990. In 2008, it was one in
nine. Projections suggest that in 20 years it will be one in four.
The content of the book integrates new and emerging research and
policy insights that inform effective teaching of ELs across the
disciplines. The chapters in this book will in ways to give
teachers the tools they need to improve the quality of instruction
in classrooms with ELs in grades K-12 both in the United States and
around the world. In this book a select group of contributors
address a variety of topics to enhance ELs language and literacy
skills, as well increase their reading comprehension abilities
across the curriculum. Chapter topics include reading and writing
instruction focusing on the Common Core standards, classroom-based
assessment, literacy-based mathematics instruction, literacy
instruction using current technologies that include digital
literacies and social media, as well as context-embedded vocabulary
development using art.
