Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Provides readers with a theoretical basis for integrating language, literacy, and science in classrooms with diverse English Learners, as well as explicit modeling of key teaching practices known to improve English Learners' science learning. The book outlines a framework that emphasizes the reciprocal and synergistic relationship between scientific sense-making and disciplinary language and literacy practices – through contextualized teaching that connects science instruction to students' lived experiences, sociocultural resources, and local and global communities.
