Description

"This volume in the Common Core State Standards for English Language Learners series was designed to deepen teachers' knowledge and provide instructional approaches and practices for supporting 6th-grade through 12th-grade ELLs as they meet the ambitious expectations of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Language development is a key theme of CCSS-based instruction for ELLs because they need to engage meaningfully with texts to develop their academic language and literacy skills. Developing academic language within classroom contexts is another key theme for ELLs to be successful in schools. These two themes are interconnected throughout the volume; in order for ELLs to learn academic language, they must learn it in the context of intellectually engaging tasks that enable them to read complex texts in history, science, and beyond. Along with the other books in this series, this book asks educators to consider the content and language demands of the CCSS for ELLs, and provides specific pedagogical practices, strategies, and ideas for teaches to reflect on the kind of instruction that is possible for making the demands of language use explicit. The chapters include Reflection Questions and Action Plans that are useful for practicing teachers, preservice teachers, graduate students, academic, researchers, and professional development providers."--Back cover
