Freeman and Freeman (both: education, U. of Texas at Brownsville) use current research and data to provide a methodology to teach older English language learners academic language for content-area textbooks and papers. The title particularly focuses on the questions of who the older English language learners and struggling readers are, what academic language is, and how middle and high school teachers can help students develop academic language skills. Classroom and practical examples are provided throughout.
