linguistically responsive teacher education  

Definition

  • Linguistically responsive teachers are those with expertise for teaching students who speak home languages other than the language used in school and are developing proficiency in that language while simultaneously learning academic content and skills through the language. In the United States, these students are generally referred to as English language learners (ELLs). [Source: Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education; Linguistically Responsive Teacher Education]
