Improving the Science Education of English Language Learners: Capitalizing on Educational Reform.

Buxton, Cory A.

Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering, v4 n4 p341-69 1998

Examines the role of second-language issues as a barrier to adequate science education for underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Also explores how current educational reform initiatives provide an opportunity for widespread change in how English-language learners (ELL) learn science. Examines several model projects that attempt to provide innovative science education to linguistically diverse secondary students. Contains 60 references. (Author/PVD)
