Description

The review adopts Van de Pol et al.'s (2010) framework, which distinguishes scaffolding goals from scaffolding means and specifies characteristics of scaffolding, as its analytic lens. It uses this framework "to synthesize the various forms that scaffolding of language takes in the teaching practice of subject teachers teaching in bilingual secondary education contexts". The framework structures the review's findings into characteristics, means and goals of language scaffolding.
