Riassunto

Making Content Comprehensible for Secondary English Learners: The SIOP Model is written to give middle and secondary school teachers lesson plans, teaching ideas, and many effective activities for working successfully with adolescents who are English learners or who struggle with academic literacy. Several sample lessons and activities show the alignment of the SIOP Model to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Based on research that confirms that the SIOP Model (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) makes a positive difference academically for all students–and what works well for English learners will work equally well with other students–the book is ideal both for teachers who are already familiar with the SIOP Model, and those who are just learning about it. It gives educators a model for planning and implementing lessons that help the English learners in their charge gain access to grade-level content standards, and ultimately prepare them for life after high school, in college or a career.

Recensione:

"This text is relevant and necessary learning for pre-service teachers whether they are seeking ESL certification or not. With the growing demographic shifts, all teachers will inevitably have a few ore more ELs in their classrooms. More importantly, it places emphasis on necessary features which ought to be embedded in all lesson plans for ELs and other demographic groups which require direct and explicit instruction for mastery of academic language and content concepts." — Miriam D. Ezzani, University of North Texas
