Successful Research-Based Somatic and Linguistic Instructional Strategies for Multilingual K–12 and Adult Learners

Description

This book provides educators with the necessary tools and strategies to help English learners succeed.

Drawing from feedback from dual-language learners and teachers on improving assessments, Maryann Hasso develops and details strategies for the education of English learners (ELs) and covers how educators can help students complete assignments and engage with lessons. The instructional strategies outlined in this book include offering students multiple options for taking tests, ensuring each assessment is translated into the languages represented in the classroom, and allowing students to take assessments in groups or pairs.
