This book offers practical suggestions for helping teachers to engage ELL students in simultaneously learning subject-area content, analytical practices, and language and shows how to integrate formative assessment.

Presents a clear vision and practical suggestions 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 - from an individual activity to a socially engaged activity; from a linear process to a developmental process; and from a separate area of instruction to an approach that embeds language development in subject-area activities.
