Ernst-Slavit, G: Academic Languaging Engaging Multilingual Students in Content Area Learning

What an exciting way to approach languaging in the content areas! Gisela s and Margo s book lays the groundwork for looking at language, literacy, and core content through the actions of multilingual learners and their teachers. They show how multilingualism is at the heart of multilingual learners identities and how multimodalities can open doors for increasing their access to content and showing evidence for learning. Through model texts, they illustrate how to make dimensions of language come to life to promote student engagement. They showcase academic languaging for building teacher and peer relationships, and for applying technology to advance learning in math, science, social studies, and language arts. This book is a must for ESL/ELD and dual language teachers, programs, and school administrators. Margarita Espino Calderón, Professor Emerita/Senior Research Scientist 20250218
