Because of their limited, greatly interrupted, or sometimes nonexistent participation in formal education, SLIFE face challenges in the classroom that go beyond language and content. Often SLIFE need to develop basic literacy skills and foundational subject-area knowledge, as well as to learn how to engage in the discourse and practices of formal educational settings. So what can teachers do to help these students succeed and to recognize and honor their knowledge, skills, and cultural capital? \u003ci\u003eSLIFE: What Every Teacher Needs to Know\u003c\/i\u003e centers around four guidelines for teaching SLIFE: question assumptions, foster two-way communication, explicitly teach school tasks and academic ways of thinking, and promote project-based learning. Discussion of the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP), is also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Decapua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472039482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472039487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press ELT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Andrea Decapua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427406070015,"sku":"9780472039487","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1583952a-52d6-403c-9f56-37fa169c61bc.jpg?v=1761579355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slife-andrea-decapua-9780472039487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
