This report, Part Two: Focus on Classroom Teaching and Learning Strategies, was published by the Education Alliance at Brown University. The authors indicate that the numbers of English language learners (ELLs) enrolling at middle and high schools is increasing more than ever before. Therefore, content area teachers now have more ELLs in their classrooms but may lack the knowledge and skills that are essential in addressing how to meet the needs of the ELL students. They emphasize eight instructional practices that empower content teachers to be sensitive to the needs of ELLs. These instructional practices are supported by two areas of research—promoting academic literacy development of adolescents and effective content area instruction of ELLs in middle and high schools. Each strategy is described in detail to help content area teachers skillfully support the literacy development of their ELL students.
