Her dissertation examines teacher’s talk in the context of a discussion-based curriculum for English learners. Linda’s other research focuses on a) supporting newly arrived immigrant students develop their English and academic language skills; b) exploring instructional practices that develop students’ language skills in support of academic content learning; and c) supporting educators working with English-learning youth.
