Description

In this webinar co-sponsored by SchoolsMovingUp and CREATE (Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners), Diane August, Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Applied Linguistics, will build on her January 23, 2008 SchoolsMovingUp webinar, “Building Oral Language into the Basal.” She will describe methods to develop the language proficiency skills of English learners in the context of language arts, math, and science instruction in elementary and middle schools. Examples of methods include read-alouds of expository and narrative text, explicit attention to academic language, and reinforcing oral language through writing. This work is part of ongoing research funded by the US Department of Education to improve the language and literacy skills of English learners.
