Integrated English Language Development

English learners face the task of trying to problem-solve their way through content while learning a new language. Content-area teachers face the task of meeting the demands of teaching content standards while supporting the linguistic needs of every student. This powerful resource written by Eugenia Mora-Flores helps teachers develop the strategies to teach their subject matter in a way that empowers all students to learn.

This resource clearly defines and supports the implementation of Integrated English Language Development (I-ELD). It provides research-based instructional strategies to immerse students in content while promoting oral and written language development. By integrating these strategies into instruction, teachers will be able to:

• Scaffold writing instruction across all disciplines
• Use specific strategies to teach academic language and comprehensible input and output
• Support English learners in accessing, interpreting, using, and producing language across all content areas

Educators will be inspired to take their teaching to higher levels by providing engaging and challenging learning environments for all English language learners!
