(Ebook) Language, Literacy, and Learning in the STEM Disciplines: How Language Counts for English Learners by Alison L. Bailey, Carolyn A. Maher, Louise C. Wilkinson (Editors)

These key questions are addressed: When and how do students develop mastery
of the language registers unique to mathematics and to the sciences? How do
teachers use assessment as evidence of student learning for both accountability and
instructional purposes? Orienting each chapter with a research review and drawing
out important Focus Points, chapter authors examine the obstacles to and latest
ideas for improving STEM literacy, and discuss implications for future research and
practice.
