This report discusses the current climate within mainstream content–area classrooms for English language learners (ELLs), and how academic and linguistic supports can improve the success of ELLs in school endeavors. The first section of this paper highlights these four aspects of instruction: comprehensible instruction, academic rigor, culturally relevant pedagogy, and teacher/student relationships, in order to create an academically and linguistically supportive classroom. The second section translates research and theory into practice, providing activities that promote both academic and linguistic development for all students by involving listening, reading, writing and speaking instruction. / Foreign Language Education / text
