CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of Mathematics.English learners and MathematicsHow does academic language fit into the

SIOP model?Content wordsProcess/Function wordsWords and word parts (English Structure)

How is academic language manifested in classroom discourse?

CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of

Mathematics (continued).Why do English learners have difficulty with

academic language?Little time allocated for academic vocabularyLittle time allocated for oral/written language

developmentLow expectations from teachers

How can we effectively teach academic language in mathematics?

CritiqueThe SIOP model :

Great resource for any content area teacherScientifically basedDevelops academic content Develops academic vocabulary

WHO CAN USE THIS BOOK?Do you have English Learners in your

classroom who struggle with academic vocabulary?

Do you teach Mathematics, Social Studies, Science or Reading Language Arts?

Do you want your bilingual students to be successful English readers, writers , listeners and speakers?

Do you want to make a difference in the life of your students?

Do you want to become an even more successful teacher?
