Teaching English Language Learners in Career and Technical Education Programs:
Today’s classrooms increasingly include students for whom English is a second language. Teaching English Language Learners in Career and Technical Education Programs explores the unique challenges of career-oriented education, and provides simple and straightforward advice on how to teach English language learners (ELLs) alongside all students in today’s Career and Technical Education programs.
The authors’ teaching framework and case studies draw from common settings in which career and technical educators find themselves working with ELLs—in the classroom, in the laboratory or workshop, and in work-based learning settings.
By integrating CTE and academic instruction, and embedding career development activities across the curriculum, readers will gain a better understanding of the challenges of teaching occupationally-oriented content to a diverse group of learners in multiple settings.
