This includes students who are English language learners (ELLs). However, these students may require additional time, appropriate instructional support, and aligned assessments as they acquire both English language proficiency and content area knowledge.

Therefore, the theory of Language as Action calls for a change in how we view language. This theory shows the need for an action-based learner in an action-based environment, in which challenging puzzles, explorations and projects are supported by carefully scaffolded activities and autonomy-supporting interactions.

A purely grammatical or functional progression will not get students to engage in these acts, or to become engaged, motivated, develop their autonomy, and succeed. It is essential that we do not miss this opportunity to integrate language, cognition, and action deeply and coherently.(van Lier & Walqui, p. 7)}]]> 2020-02-18 20:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cieracasani14/a3q0oz2vio2k/wish/447082161 cieracasani14 https://padlet.com/cieracasani14/a3q0oz2vio2k/wish/447829974 van Lier, L., & _{Walqui, A.
