Abstract:
Teacher educators need to be able to not only teach preservice teachers how to teach language arts, math, social studies, or science, but also to teach the language their students need to talk, read, and write about these subjects. Despite this need, there is a lack of research on how best to prepare preservice teachers to teach emergent bilinguals. In this book, teacher educators from institutions across the U.S. report their research with preservice teachers in large cities, suburban communities, and rural border areas. In each chapter, the authors explain what they have learned as they have conducted research on education for preservice teachers who will teach emergent bilinguals in mainstream, bilingual, and ESL.
