This chapter provides an overview of the science education literature on English language learners (ELLs). It highlights important trends across recent publications in research, and practitioner journals central to the field of science education. Attention is given specifically to five emergent themes in the recent literature: (a)teacher knowledge(what teachers need to know to effectively support ELLs in science); (b)teacher action(what teachers can do to effectively support ELLs in science); (c)student knowledge(what prior understandings ELLs bring to the science classroom); (d)student action(what ELLs can do while engaged with instructional activities in science); and, (e)student needs(what types of learning needs ELLs have). Important research findings and gaps are identified with suggestions for future studies. In addition, the chapter describes instructional approaches favored by science practitioners and discusses practical issues raised and informed by current research.
