Abstract:
"This book will focus on the language and literacy opportunities that multilingual learners (MLLs) can and will achieve when appropriate language scaffolds are taught alongside rigorous math and science standards and content and when teachers enact what we will call "equity moves." take a strengths and assets-based approach to what MLLs are able to do when they are adequately instructed. Using key language scaffolds for science and math instruction, students with specific language assets and needs can unlock success. For far too long, the narrative has revolved around what MLLs cannot do instead of focusing on what they can do when they are instructed appropriately. Specifically, this book is about helping teachers of math and science support MLLs to "do" specific things with language, including empowering their students to "do" vocabulary, "do" discourse, "do" modes of representation, and "do" text features through the teachers' enactment of the equity moves described throughout the book"-- Provided by publisher.
