Abstract:
<p> The purpose of this project was to develop modified lessons that integrate FOSS investigations with the California English Language Development Standards with the intent to teach science daily for at least thirty minutes. Teachers will be able to use these lesson plans to modify their own science lessons and integrate them with ELD. The modified lessons were reviewed by three teachers, two professors and a science TOSA. Revisions were made to the modified lessons after careful consideration of the comments and suggestions made by the reviewers.</p><p>

Recently resettled refugees are at high risk for food insecurity and its health consequences. This observational study evaluated the effectiveness of integrating nutrition lessons into English as a Second Language (ESL) classes at a work-site training center for refugees. The lessons focused on making healthy choices with a limited budget. Through the assistance of ESL teachers, nutrition educator assistants (NEAs) from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) taught nutrition lessons to 98 refugees from 17 different countries for 12 weeks.

Problems include the limited English communication skills of science teachers, the lack of EMI training for science teachers, the students' different language abilities and science teachers' beliefs that they are not responsible for addressing students' language needs in science. Teachers' lack of language awareness has led to poor teaching practices and limited interactions in the classrooms. This
