Teachers Use Diversity as an Asset in the Classroom
Can students learn science before they are proficient in English? Can a student’s cultural background support learning in science? Teaching Science to English Language Learners addresses these and other questions teachers face when working with students of diverse cultural backgrounds. The title includes an introduction to research on this important subject, 22 chapters covering classroom case studies, and teachers’ reflections. As the authors note, “The vision of science teaching and learning put forward in this volume is one in which English language learners have as much to teach their fellow students as they have to learn from them.” To read a sample chapter or to purchase, visit the NSTA Science Store.
