Content-Area Variations of Academic Language
This chapter got me wondering what language might be in Tech Ed that might cause trouble. Thinking back I don’t recall ever having difficulty with any related language. That might speak to the teaching of my teachers and their scaffolding ability or my facility with language terminology. Either or, keeping in mind that the students might not grasp the language is something important to keep in mind. There are few terms that I can think of that might be difficult. There are no really abstract concepts in Tech Ed , which is perhaps the appeal for many students.
