NYS TESOL journal’s general Issue brings multiple perspectives on TESOL and AL (and the TESOL international affiliate report!)

Abstract

In the Feature Article, Linda Gerena presents the results of research carried out in dual language and
ENL classroom in partner NYC schools, utilizing a newly developed protocol, the M-ALTBE. After
explicating the wellsprings of the protocol's design, Gerena demonstrates both areas of strength and
areas for development in the language-focused, content-based instruction delivered to multilingual
learners in NYC public schools. She concludes with a compendium of effective practices to inform
pedagogically sound practices, which are useful to those teaching in the NYC DOE, as well as those
working with multilingual learners in content class throughout the country, and indeed, throughout the
world.
