SUMMARY:Bridging and Contrastive Analysis: Connecting Languages for Biliteracy
DESCRIPTION:Institute Details\nEducators and coaches serving bi/multilingual learners will explore research-based strategies to strengthen instruction for language development and biliteracy across both Spanish and English. Participants will explore practical approaches for developing cross-linguistic connections that leverage students’ full linguistic repertoire and design literacy activities that build metalinguistic awareness. Through collaborative discussions and analysis of student work samples\, participants will gain strategies specific to their teaching and learning context. This workshop honors the linguistic and cultural assets students bring to the learning space while grounding instruction in sound research to support a strong biliteracy trajectory.   \nThis workshop is designed to help educators serving bi/multilingual students in bilingual programs and dual language programs.   \nObjectives:  \n\nApply cross-linguistic teaching strategies to leverage cognates\, syntax\, and phonological connections between Spanish and English  \nAnalyze instructional samples to identify evidence of cross-linguistic transfer and areas for instructional support  \nDesign literacy activities that explicitly build metalinguistic awareness across both languages  \nCollaborate with colleagues to problem-solve instructional challenges specific to dual language settings \n\nAgenda\nWednesday\, February 3\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET \n\nWelcome and Framing \n\n\nCross-linguistic teaching strategies: Morphology\, Syntax\, and Phonology \n\n\nAnalyzing Language for Cross-linguistic Transfer \n\n\nDesigning for Metalinguistic Awareness \n\n\nClosing Commitments and Next Steps \n\nCost\n\nEarly bird pricing (individual): $350 per person if registered by January 13\, 2027\nStandard individual rate: $400 per person for registrations after January 13\, 2027\nGroups of 2 or more qualify for the early bird rate of $350 per person\nCost includes all digital training materials and a mailed hard copy of the Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education 3rd Edition book\, provided we have your mailing address\nRegister early—space is limited\nRegistration closes on January 29\, 2027\n\nVenue\nThis institute will be held online.
