Integrating Language and Content Instruction for Language Minority Students. Teacher Resource Guide Series, Number 4.
Crandall, JoAnn; And Others
The guide is designed to introduce teachers and administrators to approaches for combining language and content instruction in English as a second language, bilingual education, foreign language education, mainstream classes, and content area instruction, and to provide suggestions and resources for implementing the approaches. It describes an activity carried out in a class of limited-English-speakers, examines what is accomplished the activity, discusses the principles underlying the integration of language and content area instruction, and outlines three approaches: developing a single lesson, developing a unit in one academic area, and developing a content-based or sheltered English curriculum. Aspects of program acceptance and administration are discussed, potential problem areas are noted, and three sample lesson outlines are appended. A list of references is also supplied. (MSE)
