Summary:

English Language Learners and the New Standards provides a clear and practical path for helping teachers engage ELL students in simultaneously learning subject-area content, analytical practices, and language. This process requires three important shifts in our perspective on language and language learning: from an individual activity to a socially engaged activity; from a linear process, aimed at correctness and fluency, to a developmental process; and from a separate area of instruction to an approach that embeds language development in subject-area activities. For each step, the authors clarify the skills and knowledge teachers need to integrate content knowledge and language development, and show how teachers can integrate formative assessment in ongoing teaching and learning.
