Description
This book aims at raising the bar of language instruction for English Language Learners and struggling readers by focusing on a challenging academic topic Law and Justice.
An indispensable part of teaching academic language is the teacher’s own use of academic language in the interaction and communication with students. The Roadmap design and development emphasizes this aspect of language acquisition through thoughtful scaffolding, clarification, and extensive modeling.
The essential process of language acquisition is led and defined by a Big Question (BQ) that emerges from the topic under review. The BQ is explored and examined in an informational authentic text.
The interactive part in the Roadmap, unlike in a printed textbook, maximizes student engagement and comprehension thanks to its instantaneous access to learning tools that foster academic learning and language acquisition. This digital interaction presents an exciting array of images, tables, podcasts, and reviews. Dictionary access with its auditory pronunciation guide puts the learner in firm control of his or her own learning.
The Roadmap charts clearly defined and easy to navigate paths to academic language acquisition and extensive practices in reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities.
The guide empowers learners to take ownership of their own academic language acquisition and become self-sufficient.
