SURN Multilingual Learners Conference

Multilingual Learners Workshop 

 

Do you have English Learners in your class and wonder how to meet their learning needs? Join us as we explore the fundamentals of teaching students for whom English is a second or other language. This one-day interactive workshop will provide an understanding of how multilingual learners acquire social and academic language and how we can more effectively teach them. We'll explore how to build background knowledge, identify and teach academic language, and provide language and reading practice across the content areas.
