Show, Tell, Build: Twenty Key Instructional Tools and Techniques for Educating English Learners
Nutta, Joyce W.; Strebel, Carine; Mihai, Florin M.; Crevecoeur Bryant, Edwidge; Mokhtari, Kouider
Harvard Education Press
Building upon the theoretical and practical foundation outlined in their previous book, "Educating English Learners", the authors show classroom teachers how to develop a repertoire of instructional techniques that address K-12 English learners (ELs) at different English proficiency and grade levels, and across subject areas. "Show, Tell, Build" is organized around two decision maps for planning and implementing differentiated instruction for ELs: the Academic Subjects Protocol (for teachers of academic subjects) and the Language Arts Protocol (for teachers of language arts). The instructional tools and techniques described in each chapter help teachers provide communication support for ELs through "showing" and "telling", and develop their language proficiency through "building" their skills. The book also discusses the demands that academic language poses for ELs and ways to assess students' proficiency in English. "Show, Tell, Build" provides classroom teachers, English language development specialists, literacy coaches, and school leaders with valuable knowledge and skills to support ELs' academic success.
