A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

What do mathematics and science educators need to know about the particular forms and content of academic language used in the STEM disciplines? This book critically synthesizes and comprehensively interprets the current knowledge base on language challenges inherent to learning mathematics and science, with particular attention to the unique issues for English language learners. 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?
