Language Across the Curriculum in the Elementary Grades
註釋The language across the curriculum approach explored in this book implies the restructuring of curricula away from so-called "coverage" of content and toward creation of opportunities for learning in discussions, games, and in-class writing projects. Following an introduction and overview in chapter one, chapter two summarizes and analyzes the research in this field over the last two decades, touches on the major disciplines in order to cite significant research, and suggests practical techniques for bringing a learning-through-language approach to bear on the teaching of all subjects. Chapters three through seven explore five different classrooms, showing how language across the curriculum occurs among children of widely varying interests, in different grade levels, and in different types of classes. Specifically, these chapters discuss learning through language in third grade math and science, in first grade, in a class for the learning disabled, in a speech therapy class, and in the sixth grade.
