Choose a topic that is related to bilingual education, biliteracy, and academic development. The topic should be related to your own research interests but also to this course topic. You may want to address issues of curriculum and language planning, instruction, assessment and accountability, teacher professional development, or social equity in bilingual contexts.
You will write a literature review that answers the questions below (minimum of 15 references). A rubric for the final paper is below.
• What is the relationship between language, learning and academic content and how has it been studied?
• Based on the literature, what are challenges and opportunities for emergent bilinguals in a particular academic content area (science, math, technology, engineering, social studies)? (Answer this question if it is relevant to your research topic).
• What are implications for teaching and learning from this literature review? (At least two pages)
