Abstract
Teachers of emergent bilinguals rely on instructional scaffolding to help their students make sense of text, develop language in meaningful contexts, and engage in challenging learning opportunities. In this comparative case study of four exemplary teachers' reading instruction with middle school emergent bilinguals, I explain how these teachers used interactional scaffolding (in-the-moment supports for language and content) to generate and sustain their students' engagement with challenging English texts. By exploring teachers' use of a range of interactional scaffolding, researchers and practitioners will better understand how "high challenge/high support" instruction works in multilingual classes.
