Mathematics Preservice Teachers Learning About English Language Learners Through Task-Based Interviews and Noticing
Anthony Fernandes
The third cycle of an intervention in a mathematics content course was designed to foster awareness among middle school mathematics preservice teachers (PSTs) of the challenges that English language learner (ELL) students face and the resources they draw on as they learn mathematics and communicate their thinking in English-only classrooms. The article also discusses the potential of the intervention and how it can be used by other mathematics educators.
