Book ID/图书代码： 09653014B71961
English Summary/英文概要： Can a student s cultural background support learning in science? Or is concentrating on the specialized vocabulary of science the best way to help English language learners learn science? This book addresses these and other pressing questions you face when working with students whose linguistic and cultural backgrounds, as well as their languages, are different from your own. Teaching Science to English Language Learners combines research findings with classroom vignettes and the perspectives of teachers. The chapter authors strive to support your efforts to see diversity as a resource rather than as an obstacle in the science classroom. Among their topics: Building on what students know and recognizing students strengths Teaching vocabulary for learning Supporting the development of academic language Challenges associated with learning a second language Types of programs for teaching English language learners Using students cultural resources Mastering the principles outlined in the book will give any teacher a broad base of knowledge from which to draw. But the book also urges you to think deeply about the roles of diversity. It offers valuable information for reflecting on, experimenting with, and adapting your instructional practices. As the authors note, the vision of science teaching and learning put forward in this volume is one in which English language learners have as much to teach their fellow students as they have to learn from them.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 学生的文化背景知识会有助于科学学科的学习吗？还是说，专注于专业的科学词汇，才是帮助英语语言学习者学习科学的最好方式？如果你所教学生的母语语言和文化环境与你不同，那么这本书将回答上述问题以及许多你可能会遇到的其他亟待解决的相关问题。《教英语语言学习者学科学》融合了大量研究发现、课堂视图以及多名教师的看法。本书作者旨在帮助和支持教师们在科学课堂上，将语言文化的多样性看作是一种资源而非障碍。他们探讨的话题将包括：以学生现有知识为基础进行搭建并发现学生的长处、教授学习词汇、帮助积累专业学科词汇、学习第二外语的相关挑战、英语语言学习者的各类授课课题、有效利用学生文化背景、掌握书本知识主要原理等，这些将为教师提供可以进行各类参考的知识库。本书还将促使读者去更深入地思考多样性所扮演的角色，并将为教师进行相关反思、实验及不断调整教学指导方针提供极具价值的各类信息。正如本书作者在书中表示，在本书中所提及的科学教学与学习图景中，英语语言教学者不仅需要向学生传递许多知识，同时也有许多需要从他们身上学习的知识。(DC)
