SUMMARY:Developing Academic Literacy and Language in the Content Areas
DESCRIPTION:Design practical\, hands-on activities for English learners to be successful within rigorous content instruction while exploring the academic language and literacy practices of the 21st century classroom. \n\nAcademic language is so much more than vocabulary. Please join us for this engaging two-day institute designed to increase understanding and provide practical resources regarding the instruction of academic language and literacy. \nThe institute will focus on the language acquisition of English learners at three levels: discourse\, sentence\, and word or phrase level. The focus will be on bridging from students’ home language(s)\, dialects and more conversational language to the classroom or text language that allows them to meet content and language acquisition standards in the classroom. \nBased on a 21st century approach to literacy\, participants will explore the academic language and literacy practices –– such as listening for the speaker’s point of view or justifying the answer to a math problem –– that students need to be successful within rigorous content instruction. Educators will also learn how to scaffold participation in these discipline-specific practices\, such as creating a model of the planetary system or contrasting two different cultural versions of a story. \nAfter defining academic language and literacy\, participants will learn more about each level of language and how each level is measured in English language proficiency assessments\, such as the WIDA ACCESS test. Participants will analyze classroom videos and texts at each of the levels of language. Facilitators will also draw upon CAL’s federally funded research on vocabulary acquisition and demonstrate methods for identifying and teaching high frequency\, high-utility academic vocabulary. \nThroughout the two days\, activities that teachers can implement in the classroom will be modeled. Strategies are applicable to bilingual learners as well as students at intermediate and advanced proficiencies in English\, including long term English learners. \nThe institute is designed for classroom teachers working with language learners in grades PreK-12. ESL\, reading and other school specialists who work with classroom teachers\, school administrators\, and other educators will also benefit from this valuable professional development opportunity.  Collaborative teaching teams are especially encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nCERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION\nParticipants will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion which may be used for continuing education credit. \nRegistration\nPlease click here to register for this institute.

SUMMARY:GURT Institute
DESCRIPTION:https://gurt.georgetown.edu \nSince the COVID-19 outbreak\, foreign and second language researchers\, administrators\, teachers\, learners and parents have all been grappling with the shift from face-to-face to online language instruction. While the fields of applied linguistics and education can offer some insights from prior research\, multiple perspectives are needed to shed light on the challenges and affordances of the myriad and complex ways in which computer-mediated instruction impacts learning. GURT 2021 will bring together plenary speakers and invited panels from a broad range of perspectives to examine these issues as they apply to the current COVID-era and beyond. \nEvent website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gurt-2021-virtual-march-4-5-2021-tickets-135885183241

SUMMARY:The 2021 Charles A. Ferguson Award Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Baquedano-López examines the intersection of language\, race\, and education particularly as them relate to Indigenous Latinx students\, critical research methods\, discourse analysis\, and parent engagement in schools. Her current project is funded by a grant from UC MEXUS-CONACYT (with Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez\, University of Colima) and centers on transnational displacements\, processes of return migration\, and education in the Maya diaspora Yucatan-California. The project brings together collaborators from the Mexican Migration Project and Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) in Mexico. This project builds on Professor Baquedano-López’s three-year ethnographic study funded by the Spencer Foundation examining the educational experiences of Indigenous Maya students and families in California schools. Prof. Baquedano-López is a co-founding editor of the new journal Language\, Culture\, and Society.\nDr. Baquedano-López holds a B.A. summa cum laude from Inter American University of Puerto Rico\, a MTESL from Arizona State University\, and a Ph.D.\, in Applied Linguistics from UCLA. She currently teaches in the Graduate School of Education at UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Castro/Artiles Book Launch Event! Language\, Learning\, and Disability in the Education of Young Bilingual Children
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 7th at the crossroads of early childhood education\, bilingual education\, and special education! \nTogether\, authors Dr. Dina Castro and Dr. Alfredo Artiles will discuss their new book\, “Language\, Learning\, and Disability in the Education of Young Bilingual Children” available now from Multilingual Matters. \nLearn more and PRE-ORDER your copy today: \nhttps://www.multilingual-matters.com/page/detail/Language-Learning-and-Disability-in-the-Education-of-Young-Bilingual-Children/?k=9781800411838 \nUsing an interdisciplinary perspective to discuss the intersection of language development and learning processes\, this book summarizes current knowledge and represents the most critical issues regarding early childhood research\, policy\, and practice related to young bilingual children with disabilities. The book begins with a conceptual framework focusing on the intersection between the fields of early childhood education\, bilingual education\, and special education. It goes on to review and discuss the role of bilingualism in young children’s development and the experiences of young bilingual children with disabilities in early care and education settings\, including issues of eligibility and access to care\, instruction\, and assessment. The book explores family experiences\, teacher preparation\, accountability\, and policy\, ending with recommendations for future research which will inform both policies and practices for the education of young bilingual children with disabilities. This timely volume provides valuable guidance for teachers\, administrators\, policymakers\, and researchers.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Classroom Assessment in Multiple Languages: A Handbook for Teachers
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed. To watch a recording of the webinar\, click here \nWhat if multilingual learners had the freedom to interact in more than one language with their peers during classroom assessment? To answer this question\, the Center for Applied Linguistics speaks to Dr. Margo Gottlieb to imagine the rich linguistic\, academic\, and cultural reservoirs teachers can tap into as we discovery what our multilingual learners know and can do. \nDr. Gottlieb’s new handbook for teachers provides concrete and actionable guidance on how to create assessment systems that enable understanding of the whole student\, not just that fraction of the student who is only visible as an English learner. Learn more from Corwin: https://us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/classroom-assessment-in-multiple-languages/book269863

SUMMARY:Educating America’s Emerging Multilingual Learners: Congressional Briefing
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed. \n\nView the recording of this webinar here (~60 minutes)\nSlides and handouts are here.\n\n\nOn July 14\, 2021\, the Center for Applied Linguistics organized a distinguished group of national experts in multilingual education to present to Congressional members and staffer on the importance of Educating America’s Emerging Multilingual Learners. \nEvent Description: \nFor too long\, the needs of the nation’s 5 million emerging multilingual learners (also labeled “English Learners”) have been overlooked\, resulting in disproportionately inadequate funding and insufficient academic progress. Multilingualism is an asset – to the nation and to the individual learner – and we should recognize emerging multilingual learners for the strengths they bring to all learning environments. \nTitle III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) was established to ensure that federal funds support the education of English learners (ELs). Between 2001 and 2017\, the EL population grew by 28.1%. However\, when adjusting for inflation\, Title III funding has actually decreased by 12.3% since 2010.  \nFinally\, the benefits of multilingualism and biliteracy have been amply documented by the research community. Students who achieve biliteracy by the time they leave high school have higher graduation rates\, higher GPAs\, higher matriculation rates\, have higher college completion rates\, and earn more over the course of their careers than their monolingual peers. \nMoreover\, the United States depends on its multilingual citizenry to meet crucial operational requirements in national security\, to staff American businesses working globally\, and to provide language access to more than 65 million Americans who speak a language other than English at home. Ensuring the education of our emerging multilingual learners is a vital national interest.  \nPanelists: \nPeggy McLeod Ed.D\, moderator \nPeggy is the Deputy Vice President for Education and Workforce Development at UnidosUS (formerly known as the National Council of La Raza)\, where she oversees all education and workforce development programs\, including charter school networks. Read more. \nDr. Keira Ballantyne \nDr Keira Ballantyne is the Vice President for Programs at the Center for Applied Linguistics. Keira has more than fifteen years’ experience as an applied linguist at the intersection of language and culture in the United States.

SUMMARY:Early Childhood Education and Digital Equity
DESCRIPTION:Prior to the pandemic\, the public discourse on early childhood learning and digital media was primarily centered on “screen-time.” When the pandemic struck and devices became the sole connection to the education system\, these types of health recommendations took a back seat to a new reality: mandatory remote learning. \nAs with any shift in policy –even abrupt ones–\, remote learning came with its own advantages and disadvantages for young multilingual learners. \nJoin the Dr. Kathy Escamilla and Annie Duguay of the Center for Applied Linguistics as we examine this topic through the lens of digital equity. \n— \nEach episode of our 30-minute webinar series\, “Research to Policy: Critical Conversations in Language Education\,” examines education for multilingual learners and culturally diverse populations through the lens of digital equity. Topics range from student assessment\, teacher education\, students with disabilities\, early childhood education\, and more. \nRegistration\nPlease click here to register for this webinar.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Asset-Based Approaches for Educating Multilingual Learners
DESCRIPTION:Multilingual learners are arguably this nation’s biggest asset. And school districts across the U.S. have had success creating communities that begin with students’ existing linguistic and content knowledge\, using it as a resource in authentic learning tasks that promote cultural flexibility and prepare students for effective participation in global contexts. \nBut there still exists a disconnect between our discourse and our reality. Our current policy landscape labels students as what they do not possess (i.e. English language learners). Meanwhile\, the demand for multilingual employees and services continues to outpace our supply. \nHow can we replicate an asset-based culture for multilinguals across this country that is both equitable and progressive? \nJoin Dr. Eugene García\, Dr. Ester de Jong\, Gabriela Uro\, and Dr. Joel Gómez from the Center for Applied Linguistics as they discuss this question and consider asset-based approaches for educating multilingual learners. \n\nRegister Here
