This course aims to prepare ELL and mainstream teachers to address the challenge of helping bilingual and emergent bilingual learners succeed in regular academic content classes. We will consider research supporting the view that second language acquisition is enhanced by rigorous academic content instruction. We will also explore instructional practices aligning English Language Proficiency Benchmarks and Outcomes for English Language Learners with those of science and other content areas.
