SUMMARY:Navigating Two Language Subsystems: A Path to Spanish-English Biliteracy
DESCRIPTION:Institute Details:  \nParticipants will learn research-based strategies for effective language and literacy instruction in programs where content is delivered in Spanish and English\, such as dual language and transitional bilingual education programs.  \nThis workshop is designed to provide participants with research-based\, effective methods for teaching academic language and literacy to students in grades K-12 in Spanish-English bilingual programs. Classroom practices are framed by an understanding of the similarities and differences between Spanish and English linguistic features.  \nParticipants will explore the systems and structures of both languages\, examining key similarities and differences in the language subsystems. Drawing on this foundational knowledge\, teachers will learn how to apply cross-linguistic practices that leverage students’ full linguistic repertoire\, building metalinguistic awareness and supporting transfer across languages. By the end of the workshop\, participants will leave with practical\, classroom-ready strategies for making language visible\, intentional\, and meaningful in bilingual instructional settings.   \nObjectives:  \n\nArticulate why knowledge of Spanish and English language systems is essential for effective literacy instruction in bilingual settings \n\n\nCompare the linguistic systems and structures of Spanish and English across key domains\, including phonology\, morphology\, syntax\, and orthography \n\n\nDescribe and evaluate cross-linguistic instructional practices that leverage students’ full linguistic repertoire \n\n\nApply classroom-ready methods that explicitly teach language similarities and differences to develop students’ metalinguistic awareness and support cross-linguistic transfer \n\n  \nAgenda  \nOctober 7\, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET \n\nWelcome and Introductions  \n\n\nIntroduction to Linguistic Systems  \n\n\nOverview of Pragmatics: Discourse-level language considerations between Spanish and English \n\n\nGrammar and Syntax: Responding to language use through intentional lessons \n\n\nSemantics: Meaning Across Languages \n\nOctober 8\, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET \n\nMorphology: Breaking it Down \n\n\nOrthography and Phonology: Considerations in Bilingual Contexts \n\n\nAssessment for Biliteracy \n\n\nClosing and Next Steps \n\nCost\n\nEarly bird pricing: $700 per person if registered by September 16\, 2026\nStandard individual rate: $750 per person for registrations after September 16\, 2026\nGroups of 2 or more qualify for the early bird rate of 700 per person\nCost includes all digital training materials and one-year access to course content\nRegister early—space is limited\nRegistration closes on October 2\, 2026\n\nVenue\nThis Institute will be held online. \nCertificate of Completion\nParticipants will earn a CAL Credly Digital badge and certificate for 10 hours of participation issued through the Credly platform\, recognizing full participation and engagement in the institute.
