Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the Six High-leverage Writing Practices approach for teaching English language learners (ELL) in English language arts contexts. Through understanding, implementing, and reflecting on the research-based instructional practices discussed in this chapter, educators cultivate a shared understanding around quality ELL-relevant instructional practices and create more purposeful, coherent systems – in classrooms and across schools – to support ELLs to thrive academically. This approach links theory to practice and provides a structure for teachers to engage culturally and linguistically diverse students in a dynamic culture of thinking and meaning-making.
