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

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: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. Her work has focused on practical applications of research in instruction\, professional development\, and assessment. Read more. \nDr. Eugene Garcia \nDr. Gene García is a Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University (ASU). He served as the director of bilingual education and minority languages affairs in the U.S. Department of Education from 1993 to 1995. Dr. García has published extensively in the area of language teaching and bilingual development authoring and/or co-authoring over 200 articles and book chapters along with 14 books. Read more. \nGabriela Uro \nGabriela Uro is the Director for English Language Learner Policy and Research for the Council of the Great City Schools\, where she is responsible for all matters pertaining to English Language Learners (ELLs). Read more. \n### \nContact: Trey Calvin\, Communications Director\, (tcalvin@cal.org)

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: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: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: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:Identifying and Serving the Unique Needs of the Immigrant and Refugee Populations in the US and throughout the World
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Website \nAbout the Panel \nCAL is bringing together key thought leaders to discuss the challenges educators\, researchers and policy makers face of identifying and serving the immigrant and refugee populations within the United States and throughout the world. \nAlthough the students from countries outside of the United States continue to experience ever increasing restrictions in entrance and access to the United States\, the needs and demands continue and those serving the population require support and accurate information. \nAdditionally\, the refugee and immigrant populations outside of the United States are experiencing equally dire restrictions and living conditions. Like their U.S. counterparts\, world support organizations need accurate information and avenues of access to raise awareness and have a chance to address the needs of the population. \n\nPanel Members: \n\nShirley Brice Heath\, Ph.D.\, Stanford University\, Noted scholar and dear friend of the Center for Applied Linguistics\nMartha Bigelow\, Ph.D.\, University of Minnesota\, 2020 CAL Charles Ferguson Award Winner\nNancy Hornberger\, Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania\, 2020 CAL Board of Trustees Member & 2019 CAL Charles Ferguson Award Winner\nFatima Zahra\, Ph.D.\, Lakshmi Mittal & Family South Asia Institute Post-Doctoral Fellow\, Harvard University\, Special Guest\nRoberta Miceli\, M.A.\, Interim Vice President\, Center for Applied Linguistics\, Panel Host\n\n\nAbout the panelists: \nShirley Brice Heath\, Ph.D. \nShirley Brice Heath\, linguistic anthropologist\, studies learners across the life span in non-formal environments of learning. She gives primary focus to the ways in which speakers\, young and old\, learn the structures and uses of language as well as the attitudes\, gestures\, and interactional ways called for in learning environments of all types. In community arts organizations\, she has examined the learning outcomes that result when youth living in under-resourced communities participate in planning\, creating\, producing\, and critiquing products and performances. Within community sites dedicated to involving young people in sustained science learning\, she has given special attention to the ways in which science learning demands close analysis of visual detail\, trial and error\, sketching and modeling projects\, and strategic problem-solving. In her research on families\, friendship groups\, and community organizations\, she studies how responsible roles accelerate desires for organizational\, scientific\, and mathematical knowledge. \nShe is the author of Words at work and play: three decades in families and communities (2012) and the classic Ways with Words: Language\, life\, and work in communities and classrooms (Cambridge University Press\, 1983/1996). Heath has taught at universities throughout the world\, most notably Stanford University and Brown University\, and as Visiting Research Professor at King’s College\, University of London. \nMartha Bigelow\, Ph.D. \nDr. Bigelow is internationally known for her work in education\, applied linguistics\, and cultural studies. Although she has focused mainly on the language learning and schooling of adolescent refugees from East Africa\, she is deeply invested in the schooling of all language learners as they learn in home\, community and school settings. Dr. Bigelow also investigates teacher education experiences and classroom pedagogies that support equity and access in education. Dr. Bigelow earned her Ph.D. at Georgetown University with a major in Applied Linguistics in 2001 and joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in the same year. As a prolific author and recipient of numerous awards\, Dr. Bigelow embodies Ferguson’s commitment to academic rigor and his global vision about the importance of language learning\, access\, and equity. \nNancy Hornberger\, Ph.D. \nDr. Hornberger is a Professor in the Educational Linguistics Division of the Graduate School of Education\, University of Pennsylvania. She is internationally known for her work in bilingualism and biliteracy\, ethnography and language policy\, and Indigenous language revitalization. She researches\, lectures\, teachers\, and consults regularly on multilingual education policy and practice in the United States and the Andes (Peru\, Bolivia\, and Ecuador) and has also worked in Brazil\, China\, Mexico\, Singapore\, South Africa\, Sweden and other parts of the world. Dr. Hornberger investigates language and education in culturally and linguistically diverse settings\, combining methods and perspectives from educational anthropology linguistic anthropology\, and sociolinguistics. \nFatima Zahra\, Ph.D. \nDr. Zahra is a postdoctoral research fellow for the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute at Harvard University. In this role\, she is committed to devising public polices to enhance employment and education opportunities for women\, refugees and other marginalized groups in South Asia. She is currently working with the local community at the Rohingya refugee camps to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of refugees. In collaboration with NGOs\, she is also working on designing interventions to enhance education and health outcomes of women and children by leveraging mobile technologies in these camps in Bangladesh.
