Foreword
I f you are reading this book, there is a good chance that you are a teacher, teacher educator, or administrator who has asked a question: How can we better serve the English language learners in our PreK12 grade settings? While this is a complex and multifaceted issue, Andrea Honigsfeld and Maria Dove take a brilliant step toward providing an answer that makes sense and can be implemented in a number of different contexts.
It is well documented that U.S. schools are experiencing rapid growth in terms of the number of students whose native language is not English. In fact, the data show that enrollment in public schools in the United States for ESL students between the years 1991 and 2000 grew by 105 percent, compared to a 12 percent overall growth rate among the general school population (Kindler, 2002). Combined with this is the fact that many general-education teachers, who are specialists in their specific disciplines, are often underprepared to work with ELLs in the general-education classroom, and ESL teachers, while specialists in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) pedagogy and theory, often are not aware of the actual curricular demands placed on ELLs in general education. In fact, research has found that only 26 percent of teachers reported taking part in professional development that addresses issues of ELLs (NCES, 2001). In addition, only 27 percent of teachers report being very well prepared to work with ELLs in the general-education classroom (U.S. Department of Education, NCES, 2001). There is usually some requirement in teacher education programs that involves understanding the needs of ELLs, but research tells us that only 20 percent of programs offer a specific course on this topic (U.S. Government Accountability Office, 2009). Finally, the acquisition of the academic language needed, Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency, as Cummins (1979) names it, takes years to acquire. Students entering school and simultaneously acquiring language and content skills, under the best of circumstances, can take seven to ten years to develop this type of language, depending on their level of academic preparation upon entering school as a second- or additional-language learner (Collier & Thomas, 1989). Combined with the aforementioned growth in the ELL population and the level of preparedness among teachers who have ELLs in their general-education classrooms, it seems that we might be reaching a tipping point in terms of providing the most effective service to students who need both to be successful in their general education, content classes and acquire English as an additional language, both for social and academic purposes. While ESL teachers are in the best position to build these language skills in a highly contextualized and sheltered setting, such as a pull-out ESL program, the content or general-education teacher is the one qualified to deliver the discipline-specific material. In a traditional pull-out program, these activities take place in isolation from each other and may not be connected to the extent that they need to be. As a teacher educator who works with both ESL and content-area teachers, I have often heard the lament from the subject area teacher:
