Teachers see how principles and strategies are integrated into daily multilingual classroom instruction through classroom teaching vignettes in chapters 2-12.
The challenges of teaching beginning reading to older learners are addressed in expanded sections on reading and writing development of students with interrupted formal education (SIFE).
How to teach listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill development is made clear in the description of a content-learning context that shows teachers how to integrate language instruction throughout the classroom curriculum.
Teachers get multiple ideas for further learning on every topic in the book, while students get additional help for reinforcing the concepts through Questions for Reflection, Suggested Readings, and Learning Activities that appear in every chapter.
The integration of content instruction, language instruction, and learning strategies is demonstrated in two integrated content-based thematic units available on line–one written at the elementary level and the other geared to secondary grades.
This Second Edition includes new teaching resources and an emphasis on a culturally and linguistically appropriate Response to Intervention model. Each chapter describes the way RTI is related to the topic of the chapter.
Teachers get many strategies to use with the diverse learners in their classrooms through the RTI Samplers for Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs of Response to Intervention.
It is clear how the Common Core State Standards can be used with ELLs in content classrooms through the references to the use of those Standards for English Language Arts and/or Mathematical Practice located in Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12.
A greater understanding of how to use the RTI model with ELLs is accomplished through the descriptions in Chapter 1 and 2 of a culturally and linguistically appropriate Response to Intervention model.
Teachers see how to construct classroom environments conducive to achievement gains for Tier 1 ELLs in the descriptions in Chapters 2 and 3.
Understanding of vocabulary development is expanded in a new Chapter 7 that is dedicated to academic vocabulary teaching and learning. It includes many practical strategies teachers can use to develop vocabulary development in content classrooms.
The challenges present in teaching beginning reading to older pre-literate learners and under-educated learners are made easier through an expanded section addressing reading and writing development of older students with interrupted formal education (SIFE).
Teachers are introduced to a number of program models used across the U.S. for instructing ELLs through the new descriptions presented in Chapter 4.
Teachers get easy reference to the new Common Core State Anchor Standards for both English Language Arts and Mathematics Practice in the Appendix.
Pre-service and in-service instruction is facilitated with the Questions for Reflection, Activities for Further Learning, and Suggested Readings in every chapter.
