Teaching Content to Students of English: Materials and StrategiesDr. Eileen Ariza, Dr Susanne Lapp, Diane Pett, Kristine Weller, Dr Sally Robison. Global immigration makes a tremendous impact on schools and teachers are obligated to teach academic content to non native speakers of English along with native English speakers. Because students speak a variety of languages, bilingual education is not an option in many cases. Therefore, the mainstream teacher must be knowledgeable about strategies and methods that will result in successful instruction. This presentation focuses on adapting mainstream materials and utilizing teaching strategies that will ensure that the English language learner will receive comprehensible academic input.
