What is the goal of specially designed academic instruction in English?

To teach grammar rules exclusively
To provide content support for ESOL students
To focus on reading for pleasure
To prepare students for literature exams

The correct answer is: To provide content support for ESOL students

The goal of specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE) is to provide content support for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students. This instructional approach is tailored to help these learners understand complex subject matter by integrating language development with academic content. SDAIE strategies promote comprehension and engagement by using visual aids, hands-on activities, and collaborative learning, making it accessible for students who may be in the process of mastering English. In this context, the focus is not solely on grammar rules, reading for pleasure, or preparing for literature exams, but rather on ensuring that ESOL students can access, participate in, and succeed in the academic curriculum. By providing the necessary support in a content-rich environment, SDAIE helps bridge the gap between language learning and subject mastery, fostering both language development and cognitive skills.
