The goal of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guide, "Teaching Academic Content and Literacy to English Learners in Elementary and Middle School," is to provide four recommendations for teaching complex content to English learners while simultaneously building academic language and writing and oral language proficiency. This updated practice guide builds on the work of the first practice guide on English learners, expands the grade range from K-5 to K-8, and incorporates instruction in mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as literacy. With techniques found in this guide, teachers can effectively address English learners' content and language needs by systematically--and at times explicitly--building students' English language and literacy, while teaching history, mathematics, science, and other disciplines. This brief summary report focuses on the third of the four recommendations: Provide regular, structured opportunities to develop written language skills. As English learners progress from grade 1 to graduation, they are increasingly required to demonstrate the ability to respond to informational texts through writing. The purpose of this recommendation is to provide educators with guidance on how to support English learners in mastering these writing requirements. This summary provides steps to carry out the recommendation and identifies potential roadblocks and suggests ways to address them.
