SUMMARY:Spanish-English Biliteracy Instruction: Foundations
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your knowledge of linguistic differences between Spanish and English and their impact on language and literacy instruction for emergent multilingual learners! \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 interactive institute\, formerly known as Language and Literacy Instruction for Emergent Bilingual Learners\, is designed to provide participants with research-based\, effective methods for teaching academic language and literacy to students in grades K-8 in programs in which students are afforded the opportunity to learn in both Spanish and English. Classroom practices are framed by an understanding of how Spanish and English linguistic features are the same and different. \nThe 12-hour institute will provide both live (synchronous) and asynchronous (on-your-own) online learning and take place over several days. It will include: \n\nWorkshop/webinar sessions with CAL facilitators to understand and discuss effective practice as well as network with other educators with similar priorities\nA culminating project in which participants plan a lesson based on what they have learned.\n\nLearning Outcomes \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nexplain why knowledge of the systems is important for teaching in bilingual settings\nidentify systems and structures of Spanish as compared with English\ndescribe cross-linguistic practices\nuse methods for teaching students the similarities and differences between languages to promote metalinguistic awareness\n\nWho Should Attend \nThis institute is designed for K–8 educators who teach in Spanish-English dual language\, transitional bilingual\, or other bilingual program settings.
