Current statistics have revealed an academic achievement gap that exists between English Language learners and native English speaking students in the content area of Science. Research suggests that this academic achievement gap exists due to a lack of academic vocabulary among English Language learners. This project explores methods of instruction and instructional strategies that do work to develop the academic vocabulary of English Language Learners in the content area of science at the elementary school level. This project contains instructional strategies and vocabulary building activities that support the comprehensible delivery of science instruction, and build the academic science vocabulary of English Language Learners. Effective science instruction must include methods for delivering instruction that is: compressible to language learners, includes a common inquiry experience for students to attach science concept learning to regardless of background and features embedded opportunities to engage in vocabulary building activities. The teacher’s manual included in this project addresses the vocabulary gap that exists among English Language Learners by providing instructional strategies to promote academic vocabulary growth and academic achievement in science.

English language learners (ELLs) tend to fall behind their native English speaking peers in science. As districts are starting to implement the Next Generation Science Standards, having knowledge of academic vocabulary is necessary to be able to participate in scientific inquiry and the discussions that ensue. This purpose of this study was to utilize simple literacy strategies (which did not require professional development) to improve the tier 3 academic vocabulary of English language learners in a middle school science class. The researcher used two literacy strategies based on the research in conjunction with science inquiry activities in a Chemistry unit to assess growth in vocabulary knowledge. The mixed methods study took place in an 8th grade middle school class in which a total of 325 students participated, however, the focus of the study was on 15 English language learners who participated. The study was conducted over a 3 week period, and pre and post-test data were collected, as well as student surveys and observations of students' vocabulary usage through the use of a speaking and writing rubric based on a framework from a previous study. Growth in tier 3 vocabulary was significant over the three week period. The strategies used were effective based on the quantitative data and based on students' responses to the survey. The recommendations are for science teachers to consciously embed these strategies into their lessons to help their ELLs improve their knowledge of tier 3 vocabularies which can possibly help facilitate their science knowledge and improve their participation in discussion in science class.

This practitioner-based book provides different approaches for reaching an increasing population in today’s schools - English language learners (ELLs). The recent development and adoption of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (CCSS-ELA/Literacy), the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, the C3 Framework, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) highlight the role that teachers have in developing discipline-specific competencies. This requires new and innovative approaches for teaching the content areas to all students. The book begins with an introduction that contextualizes the chapters in which the editors highlight transdisciplinary theories and approaches that cut across content areas. In addition, the editors include a table that provides a matrix of how strategies and theories map across the chapters. The four sections of the book represent the following content areas: English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. This book offers practical guidance that is grounded in relevant theory and research and offers teachers suggestions on how to use the approaches described.

Teaching secondary students in the content areas is hard enough under the best of circumstances. When students are not well prepared academically and also lack academic literacy skills, the challenge can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, the Freemanshelp secondary content-area teachers provide these students with the academic support they very desperately need. -Robert J. Marzano Coauthor of Building Academic Vocabulary Many middle school and high school students are recent immigrants or long-term English language learners who struggle with the academic language needed to read content-area textbooks and write papers for their classes. Likewise, many native speakers of English find content-area classes a challenge. Secondary teachers have little time to teach academic reading and writing skills because they must cover a great deal of content in their social studies, science, math, or language arts classes. Academic Language for English Language Learners and Struggling Readers provides the information busy secondary teachers need to work effectively with English learners and struggling readers. It reports current research to answer key questions: Who are our older English language learners and struggling readers? What is academic language? How can middle and high school teachers help students develop academic language in the different content areas? This comprehensive and readable text by Yvonne and David Freeman (authors of Essential Linguistics) synthesizes recent demographic data on the kinds of English language learners and struggling readers who attend middle and high schools in increasing numbers. They flesh out the statistics with stories of students from different backgrounds. Then the Freemans examine academic language at different levels: the text level, the paragraph level, the sentence level, and the word level. For each, they provide examples of academic language and specific strategies teachers can use as they teach language arts, science, math, and social studies. They also analyze content-area textbooks, pointing out the difficulties they pose for students and suggesting ways to make texts more accessible to ELLs and struggling readers. Providing classroom examples, the Freemans explain how teachers can motivate and engage their students. They describe how teachers can teach language and content simultaneously by developing both language and content objectives. Academic Language for English Language Learnersgives teachers the information and strategies they need to help all their students develop academic language.

Building on Michael Graves's bestseller, The Vocabulary Book, this new resource offers a comprehensive plan for vocabulary instruction that K–12 teachers can use with English language learners. It is broad enough to include instruction for students who are just beginning to build their English vocabularies, as well as for students whose English vocabularies are approaching those of native speakers. The authors describe a four-pronged program that follows these key components: providing rich and varied language experiences; teaching individual words; teaching word learning strategies; and fostering word consciousness. This user-friendly book integrates up-to-date research on best practices into each chapter and includes vignettes, classroom activities, sample lessons, a list of children's literature, and more.
