What Is Academic Language?
Academic language is the language that is used for specific purposes within a particular field or profession. It is often seen as the language of school, textbooks, and standardized tests.
Academic language can be difficult for students to understand and use effectively, especially if they are not familiar with the jargon and specialized vocabulary. This can lead to frustration and a feeling of being lost in class.
To prevent this, educators need to provide explicit instruction and support in academic language. This can be done through modeling, scaffolding, and differentiated instruction.

They collaborate with educators to develop and implement instructional strategies that improve student engagement and academic achievement.
