A Study on Supporting Second Language Children’s Content Learning in Elementary School

This paper presents what I believe to be two principal layers involved in content area instruction for second language students in elementary school: (I) effective core content instruction in elementary school, independent of L2 issues, and (2) the interaction of L2 issues with the above when teaching in the elementary grades. The first layer provides the groundwork for examining the second layer by telling us the "business" of elementary school instruction; without it, the second layer makes little sense. Knowing one's students, then using that knowledge to offer them experiences of which they have partial understanding, and then confronting them with a problem that calls on them to re-examine those experiences to learn new information satisfies the first three requirements for teaching discipline-specific content to elementary school children. They need to know the fundamentals of their subject matter; they need to know pedagogy; they need to know the interplay between language and content education; they need to know the cultures and experiences of their students; and they need to know how to talk and listen to children.
