Science for English Language Learners: K-12 Classroom Strategies

Edited by: Ann K. Fathman, David T. Crowther

Teachers with linguistically and culturally diverse students need a strong foundation in how best to teach both science and language. Science for English Language Learners is a comprehensive guide that expands expertise in teaching science content and processes, in language development and literacy, and in inquiry-based teaching. WestEd’s Ursula Sexton contributes a model lesson describing what these approaches look like in Earth science. Designed for easy use, the book is divided into four sections:

• An overview of major themes, principles, and practices that science and English teaching share
• Practical classroom strategies for planning, teaching, assessing, and extending learning
• Models for lesson and curriculum development from both language and science educators
• Helpful context, including an overview of science and English-as-a-second-language standards; research and instructional practices; and ways to integrate science, language, and literacy
