Math and English language development: MELDing content and academic language for English learners

ABSTRACT Project Mathematics and English Language Development (MELD) is a sixth-grade mathematics intervention aimed at supporting English learners’ (ELs) development of academic language and mathematical knowledge. This article describes the MELD scaffolds and strategies for ELs with multiple examples, as well as survey and focus group data on the effectiveness of the scaffolds and strategies. The article is written for mathematics teachers and coaches who work with ELs so that they can apply the scaffolds and strategies to their curricula.
