Title: Teaching Science to English Language Learners
Body:
Larry Ferlazzo writes, “In addition to having to learn a new language and adapt to a new culture, our English Language Learner students face the challenge of having to learn the content knowledge that is also being taught in classes. Science is obviously one of those content knowledge areas, and the new Next Generation Science Standards add one more wrinkle to teacher's strategies in making science more accessible to ELLs.
“Today, educators Alicia Johal, Maria Montalvo-Balbed, Donna Barrett-Williams, Caleb Cheung, Laura Prival, Claudio Vargas and Ariane Huddleston share their suggestions on using the NGSS with English Language Learners.”

Title: Struggling Readers: “What Do You Want to Read About?”
Body:
From http://languagemagazine.com
Diana Kennedy writes about a student of hers, a struggling reader, and what to do to encourage her to read: “So, what to do in our weekly session? More drills on basic sound-spelling correspondence? I’m thinking that is not going to do anything but confirm her understanding of reading as hard, thankless work. So instead, after checking in with her about schoolwork and homework and the social drama that is high school, I ask her a simple question: what do you want to read about today?” Read how this approach is working here: http://languagemagazine.com/?page_id=124922

Body:
From http://senorhoward.com/blog/
Elementary Spanish Caleb Howard defines “vague pair elimination” as “saying, suggesting or showing what an L2 word/phrase DOESN’T mean so that it’s meaning can become precisely clear.” See how he uses this concept to stay in the target language while clarifying the meaning of what he’s saying in this blog post: http://senorhoward.com/blog/2015/12/29/vague-pair-elimination-definition/
