Series: Teaching English Language Learners across the Curriculum

This fully updated new edition provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges that English language learners (ELLs), also known as English Learners (ELs), face, as well as the ways in which educators might address them in the social studies classroom.

The authors offer context-specific strategies for the full range of the social studies curriculum, including geography, U.S. history, world history, economics, and government. These practical instructional strategies will effectively engage learners and can be incorporated as a regular part of instruction in any classroom. Features of this fully updated new edition include:

· An updated and streamlined introduction, which provides an essential overview of ELL theory in a social studies-specific context;

· ""Teaching Tips"" that offer helpful suggestions and ideas for creating and modifying lesson plans to be inclusive of English Learners;

· Practical examples and pedagogical elements in Part 3, which include more visuals, suggestions for harnessing new technologies, discussion questions, and reflection points; and

· Useful lists of online and print resources for teachers and students.

Teaching Social Studies to English Language Learners is a valuable reference to help pre- and in-service social studies educators meet the challenges of including all learners in effective instruction.

Reviews for Teaching Social Studies to English Language Learners

“I do not believe there are similar works to this text in book form. You can find ELL texts that can be applied to SS, but there is nothing that I have run across that supports ELLs in SS. I also think this is an excellent text for helping think about differentiation for all learners.” — Alexander Butler, Assistant Professor at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, USA “I would unequivocally recommend this book for future teachers and even current teachers.” — Natalie Young, Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education, Northern Illinois University, USA
