Second Language Writing in Elementary Classrooms: An Overview of Issues

  • Chapter
Second Language Writing in Elementary Classrooms

Abstract

Mainstream, general education teachers are now seeing high numbers of English language learners (ELLs) among their students. All teachers, not just specialist English as Second Language (ESL) or bilingual professionals, need to be able to work with ELLs (Lucas & Grinberg, 2008). The need to prepare teachers to work with this population of students is pressing across the U.S.A. These rapid changes put pressure on teacher education programs to prepare teachers to work with ELLs (Athanases & de Oliveira, 2011).
