Guiding Preservice Teachers to Adapt Mathematics Word Problems Through Interactions with ELLs

In this article, the authors present a framework for guiding elementary preservice teachers in adapting mathematics word problems to better meet English language learners' (ELLs) needs. They analyze preservice teachers' ELL adaptations implemented in a one-on-one setting. Through qualitati...
