Abstract

" The purpose of this symposium is to use an international lens to look at teachers’ awareness, preparation and teaching strategies when instructing linguistically diverse learners. The four (4) countries represented include Israel, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States. We will share our current cross-cultural research on literacy and content teachers’ use of instructional strategies with linguistically diverse learners. Data collected and analyzed from classroom observations, surveys, and focus group interviews will be discussed. We will present commonalities and differences found in cross-national studies on language, literacy, and content areas. Finally, we will present future research directions to enhance teacher learning and instructional changes.
