Abstract
-
In the United States, the number of students who speak a primary language other than English, or students who are emergent bilingual, in classrooms is growing. There are many different models in place within schools used to support these students in acquiring English language proficiency and access academic content within the general education classroom, but these models are not standardized across schools, and some are more effective at supporting students that are emergent bilingual than others in providing an equitable educational experience for students. This thesis seeks to address this issue with a pedagogical approach by providing a thorough review of the models most commonly used to evaluate which method is most effective at supporting students in acquiring language proficiency while developing content knowledge. Although there are effective models in place, not all school districts can realistically implement them. To bridge the gap between equitable education and the models in place, this thesis also describes and models instructional strategies that can be implemented in the general education classroom by a monolingual teacher to provide the most equitable learning experience possible for all students.
