Supporting K-12 English Language Learners in Science: Putting Research into Teaching Practice

The contribution of this book is to synthesize important common themes and highlight the unique features, findings, and lessons learned from three systematic, ongoing research and professional learning projects for supporting English learners in science. Each project, based in a different region of the U.S. and focused on different age ranges and target populations, actively grapples with the linguistic implications of the three-dimensional learning required by the Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. Each chapter provides research-based recommendations for improving the teaching of science to English learners. Offering insights into teacher professional learning as well as strategies for measuring and monitoring how well English learners are learning science and language, this book tells a compelling and inclusive story of the challenges and the opportunities of teaching science to English learners.Additional ISBNs1138961183, 1138961191, 131565993X, 9781138961180, 9781138961197, 9781315659930Supporting K-12 English Language Learners in Science: Putting Research into Teaching Practice 1st Edition is written by Cory Buxton and published by Routledge.
