The AB 1059 legislation requires that all new teachers in California be prepared to teach English language learners in their classrooms. The modules address theories, methods and techniques for instructing English language learners in bilingual, sheltered immersion and mainstream classrooms. There are several modules for curriculum design, thematic unit planning, and lesson planning for L2 learners to guide and assist educators in improving second-language, literacy and content-area instruction Bilingual Resourses > Bilingual Literacy jgordon Fri, 11 Nov 2005 17:31:31 GMT http://www.colorincolorado.org/beyondclass/faq.php This resource provides support for selecting quality books in Spanish.

While some aspects and traits of English and Spanish correspond, not all do. This model is intended for native Spanish speakers who are not fluent in English, yet need to learn the basic principles of writing without the additional challenge of being forced to use an unfamiliar language. Read examples of real student papers that have been assessed with the 6+1 Trait scoring guides.
