The Challenge of Academic Language… : DASH Story 2014-10-14
Snow and Uccelli are doing the most cutting edge research in the area of academic language and disciplinary literacy. With the advent of common core standards, it is imperative that teachers understand how to focus their literacy instruction to most help students become college and career ready. Having access to this type of research enables me to help teachers translate that research into practice.

I am an ESL teacher looking to continue refining my craft. As I have graduated, I no longer have access to my university's library. I have had trouble finding scholarly articles and was amazed to find this.

I am a foreign/second language learner. I am also a graduate student who is interested in research on second language acquisition for middle grades and secondary school students. I have found that learning academic language has been a pressing issue for students lacking sound academic backgrounds in their first language. The material in this article is very relevant to my area of interest. I will be using it as a reference for a study I am developing on academic language instruction for English language learners in middle and secondary school.

Thank you for making this accessible to all! I am a teacher of the Deaf and find it frustrating that I have limited access to current academic articles which can impact my teaching and therefore outcomes for my students. Thanks for allowing me to access this article to improve as a teacher!
