E-raamat: Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners: Research, Theory, Policy, and Practice

This textbook explains how to teach English language learners using a learner-centered approach. It integrates research into chapters; reviews theories of second language acquisition, language learning and teaching, literacy development, bilingualism, and sociocultural perspectives; links policy debates to education; and connects theory, research, policy, and practice in discussions of instructional models and programs, assessments, listening and speaking, reading, writing, and content-area instruction. This edition has been updated to integrate new federal regulations, accountability requirements, and flexibility for English language learners under the Every Student Succeeds Act; a stronger multilingual perspective, with attention to new research, theory, and practice on dynamic bilingualism and translanguaging; new research on language, literacy, and content-area instruction for English language learners from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; new principles of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages for the exemplary teaching of English language learners; and new information on the Seal of Biliteracy. It has more emphasis on viewing students, learning, and teaching through a bilingual lens; examples of English language proficiency standards and language progressions; new sections on developments related to dual language bilingual education programs; and other new theories, concepts, and research.
