Making the Transition to Classroom Success: Culturally Responsive Teaching for Struggling Language Learners, (Paperback)

<p>Features a chapter on flipped classrooms! </p><p> Learners with no, minimal, or limited exposure to formal education generally do not share the expectations and assumptions of their new setting; as a result, they are likely to find themselves confounded by the ways in which the language and content are presented, practiced, and assessed in Western-style educational settings. Institutions and teachers must tailor therefore their instruction to this population. <i>Making the Transition to Classroom Success: Culturally Responsive Teaching for Struggling Language Learners</i> examines how understanding secondary and adult L2 learners' educational paradigm, rooted deeply in their past experiences and cultural orientations, provides a key to the solution to a lack of progress. </p><p><i>Making the Transition to Classroom Success</i> builds on and expands on two earlier books, <i>Meeting the Needs of Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Schooling </i>and <i>Breaking New Ground: Teaching Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education in U.S. Secondary Schools.</i> These previous books focused specifically on a subset of struggling L2 learners--those with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE) in U.S. secondary schools--and detailed the instructional model (MALP). <i>Making the Transition</i> broadens the applications of the MALP model to include academic thinking tasks, flipped classrooms, project design, and rubrics. </p>
