Classroom Instruction
That Works with English Language Learners
By Jane D. Hill &
Kathleen M. Flynn
As more and more English language learners (ELLs) are included in mainstream classrooms, what can we do to ensure that they understand academic content and develop their English language skills? To answer this question, the authors have examined decades of research, interviewed mainstream teachers with ELLs in their classrooms, and reviewed the classroom recommendations from Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock's seminal Classroom Instruction That Works (Call no.: TT259) through an ELL lens. The result is this comprehensive guide to helping elementary school students at all levels of English language acquisition succeed.
