Today's multilingual classrooms challenge even the best teachers'
skills. As teachers strive to help all students reach their full
potential, the needs of English language learners (ELLs) can seem
overwhelming. In The Language-Rich Classroom, educators and
consultants P rsida and William Himmele present a five-part,
research-based framework- CHATS-that teachers can use to help ELLs,
as well as other students, attain greater language skills and
deeper content comprehension. This field-tested framework includes
diagnostic tools, comprehensive overviews on second-language
acquisition, and teaching techniques to boost language learning in
any classroom. The CHATS framework provides teachers with C =
content reading strategies, H = higher-order thinking skills, A =
assessment tools, T = total participation techniques, and S =
scaffolding strategies The book also contains helpful planning
worksheets, assessment logs, and scaffolding tools. Teachers will
also find more than 25 classroom and team-building activities and
specific tips about how these activities benefit ELLs. The
Language-Rich Classroom is an invaluable resource that will help
teachers foster greater gains in students' language development,
increase their comprehension across all subject areas, and build
classrooms that are engaging and welcoming to students of all
cultures.
