In this chapter, the author discusses the culturally universal teaching framework, a conceptual framework developed by the author. The study formulates an idea about how evidence-based approaches for teaching language literacy, or linguistic skills, can be taught alongside content-area disciplines to adolescents who struggle with language literacy skills to improve linguistics and content-area pedagogy and learning outcomes. Language literacy proficiency rates for adolescents in the United States and global classrooms and schools continue a downward trend. Struggling adolescents require certain pedagogy to unlock essential skills for decoding, comprehending, and encoding text. Culturally universal teaching is based on the tenets of reading science and culturally responsive teaching to enhance learning outcomes for students from diverse backgrounds.
