Mini Bilingual Conference Tier Day- Pasco School District- August 22nd, 2012
Language Acquisition and Biliteracy
The purpose of this workshop is to provide educators with
a better understanding of the cultural and linguistic factors involved in first
and second language acquisition. The
process of language acquisition will be applied to bilingual and ELL students
in a classroom context to support the development of their academic language
and literacy skills. Strategies for integrating factors surrounding language
acquisition will be suggested for developing activities, lessons, and units
across multiple content areas.
