210. Academic Languaging w/ Dr. Gisela Ernst-Slavit & Dr. Margo Gottlieb

Rethink how academic languaging can transform content area teaching For years, the teaching of content-based academic language to multilingual learners has focused on formulas, vocabulary lists, and sentence patterns―often sidelining students’ linguistic and cultural strengths.

Gisela Ernst-Slavit and Margo Gottlieb address these challenges by embracing academic languaging, an active, collaborative student-driven process. Academic Languaging offers strategies to integrate language and content learning while fostering student engagement, voice, and agency.

Dedicated chapters on academic languaging for Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science highlight the dimensions of disciplinary language for each subject and provide strategies for moving learning forward with multilingual learners. Additional features include: "Stop and Think" prompts to help educators connect new ideas with their instructional settings Prompts at the end of each chapter to encourage deeper thinking and application of the material Multilingual examples to mirror the varied classroom settings in the U.S. and beyond.

The ultimate resource for educators committed to empowering multilingual learners and fostering meaningful, culturally sustaining education, Academic Languaging ensures multilingual learners comprehend academic content and thrive as confident, autonomous drivers of their own learning.
