Event: La Cosecha 2025
Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2025, 8:00 am – 3:00 pm
Session Format: Pre-Conference Institute
Presenter(s):
- Igone Arteagoitia (CAL)
Description:
This session will provide participants working in Spanish-English dual language programs with the opportunity to enhance their pedagogical language knowledge by examining similarities and differences between Spanish and English as they relate to:
- Pragmatics (language use at the discourse level)
- Syntax (sentence structure)
- Morphology and the lexicon (word parts and vocabulary)
- Phonology and orthography (sound-letter correspondences)
At the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) identify systems and structures of Spanish and English; and 2) use methods for teaching similarities and differences between the two languages that promote students’ metalinguistic awareness. Practical classroom-based instructional strategies and opportunities to put them into practice will be embedded throughout the session.
