FOUNDATIONS OF DUAL LANGUAGE EDUCATION

This interactive workshop provides dual language educators with research- aligned strategies and hands-on activities to promote bilingualism, biliteracy, and sociocultural competence for emergent bilingual students learning in English and a partner language. Grounded in CAL’s Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education, participants will explore strategies for integrating language and content, fostering mutual respect across linguistic and cultural groups, and creating opportunities for student interaction that build receptive and productive skills in two languages. Through classroom examples, guided reflection, and collaborative planning, educators will leave with practical strategies they can implement immediately.
