Are you daunted by the prospect of teaching English alongside a content subject like science, math, or reading? That is a natural response to the fact that in our schools today, 85 percent of English Learners (EL) were born in the United States. Yet of those students, 25 to 50 percent go on to become long-term ELs. Learning English is now a question of equity, as well as academics.

In this edWebinar, Maya Goodall, Senior Director of ELL Curriculum at Lexia Learning; and Lisa Frumkes, Senior Director and Head of Content Development at Rosetta Stone, offer practical solutions to this challenge, focusing on encouraging and supporting students to use academic language while simultaneously learning content. During the session, we’ll practice what we preach—and encourage participants to do as much (or more!) communicating than the presenters; participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and share insights.

Learn  practical ways to address these issues and to better support English Learners’ speaking in and out of the classroom. Pre-K through high school teachers, school leaders, and district leaders will benefit from this recorded session.
