Nearly ten per cent of the students currently attending public schools in the United States are classified as English Language Learners (ELL); that is to say, students who are learning English. The most important challenge this population brings to the educational authorities of their school districts and the schools they attend, is to find the most effective ways to teach them both English and the academic content pertaining to their grade. Since the methods traditionally used did not teach them either the vocabulary or the content needed for subjects such as Math or Science, they fell behind their English-speaking peers. It was necessary, then, to evolve toward a better integration of the language and the lesson content. The present article summarizes the objectives of the traditional methods, details the changes that have taken place in the last decades to improve the simultaneous teaching of English and academic content, and concludes with an explanation of the techniques most used today. Actualmente, cerca del diez por ciento de los alumnos matriculados en escuelas públicas estadounidenses están clasificados como English Language Learners (ELL), es decir, alumnos que están aprendiendo inglés. El reto más importante que plantea esta población a las autoridades educativas de los distritos escolares y de las escuelas a las que asisten es cómo hallar la manera más efectiva de enseñarles tanto el inglés como los contenidos académicos correspondientes al grado que cursan. Dado que los métodos utilizados tradicionalmente no les enseñaban ni el vocabulario ni los contenidos necesarios para aprender asignaturas como matemáticas o ciencias, estos alumnos quedaban retrasados académicamente respecto a sus compañeros angloparlantes. Por tanto, era necesaria una evolución hacia una mayor integración de la enseñanza del idioma y de los contenidos. El presente artículo resume los objetivos de los métodos tradicionales, detalla los cambios de las últimas décadas para mejorar la enseñanza simultánea del inglés y de los contenidos académicos y concluye con una explicación de las técnicas más usadas en la actualidad.
