To thrive within grade 4–12 coursework, multilingual learners require intentional and systematic language development alongside the academic demands of core content areas. Contemporary U.S. college-readiness standards and English language development standards (e.g., WIDA, ELPAC, AZELLA) alike emphasize a number of high-leverage competencies. The ability to inform and explain with factual information counts amongst the most vital for achievement in standards-aligned coursework. However, accurately summarizing, comparing, or conveying why things happen places exceptional language and literacy demands on a young language scholar with basic to intermediate English proficiency.
In this edWebinar, drawing on extensive experience as an English language development practitioner and instructional coach, Dr. Kate Kinsella offers research-informed and classroom-tested routines and resources to support multilingual learners in interpreting, discussing, and constructing informative texts. Through detailed explanation, expert modeling, and video, she highlights some priority language functions and language features. Classroom teachers and teacher educators leave with practical directions and tools for lesson development and professional learning.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the elementary through high school levels.
