| Title | Using Literature in the Secondary Content Classroom |
| Body | From: OELA Newsline When planning instruction of ESL students, teachers must understand the basic issues about language acquisition. To assist teachers with understanding these issues, the International Reading Association has provided chapter 7 of Judy S. Richardsons Read it Aloud--Using Literature in the Secondary Content Classroom available on its web site. This chapter discusses how teachers can use literature to assist ESL students with learning English. One method is using characters from selected literature that are learning a second language as models for the students in the classroom. Richardson provides excerpts for reading aloud from various pieces of literature. She also provides instructional activities to use with these excerpts when teaching secondary level ESL students. Richardson discusses how to use literature to discuss ESL issues with students as well as providing ESL students with opportunities to practice using the English language.
