The "Teaching Academic Content and Literacy to English Learners in Elementary and Middle School" practice guide was developed by the What Works Clearinghouse™ (WWC) in conjunction with an expert panel to support teachers in providing language instruction. The practice guide provides teachers with guidelines and examples of ways to systematically and explicitly build students' English language proficiency and literacy by providing English learners more opportunities to speak, listen to, and write about academic topics ranging from literature to science to history in daily classroom instruction. The instructional tips translate the practice guide recommendations into actions that educators can use with students in whole class, small group, or one-on-one settings and with students at all levels of English proficiency.
