Mathematics Education and Young Dual Language Learners
Abstract
"There are three main sections that are included in this report. I begin by providing a brief background on research that has contributed to our understanding on young learners and mathematics education, as well as language development. The second section focuses on reviewing the literature on promising teaching practices that can advance the mathematics education of young DLLs in particular. The third section includes the role of the second language teacher and professional developers in supporting the mathematics learning of young DLLs and professional learning opportunities for teachers. Based on the review of the literature, I conclude with a summary of recommendations for teaching mathematics to young DLLs."
