DESCRIPTION:April 3-7 and 11\, 2023 \nLanguage and Literacy Instruction for Spanish/English Emergent Bilingual Learners: Linguistic differences between Spanish and English and their Impact on Language and Literacy Instruction  \nInstitute Overview \nParticipants will learn research-based strategies for effective literacy instruction in programs where content is delivered in Spanish and English\, such as dual language bilingual and transitional bilingual education programs. \nThis interactive institute is designed to provide participants with research-based\, effective methods for teaching academic language and literacy to students in grades K-8 in programs in which students are afforded the opportunity to learn in both Spanish and English. Classroom practices are framed by an understanding of how Spanish and English linguistic features are the same and different. \nThe 15-hour institute will provide both live (synchronous) and on-own (asynchronous) online learning and take place over several days. It will include: \n\nWorkshop/webinar sessions with CAL facilitators to understand and discuss effective practice as well as network with other educators with similar priorities\nA culminating project in which participants plan a lesson based on what they have learned\n\nInstitute Objectives \nParticipants will be able to \n\nexplain why knowledge of the systems is important for teaching in bilingual settings\nidentify systems and structures of Spanish and English\ndescribe cross-linguistic practices\nuse methods for teaching students the similarities and differences between languages to promote metalinguistic awareness\n\nCurriculum Overview \nThe following provides an overview of the institute topics. Practical classroom-based instructional strategies are embedded throughout the presentation. \nThe Context for Spanish Language and Literacy Instruction \n\nParticipant introductions\nCurrent trends in the research on biliteracy instruction in the U.S. educational context\nUnderstanding the value for students of comparing and contrasting Spanish and English\n\nDeveloping Awareness of Similarities and Differences between Spanish and English \n\nBuilding metalinguistic awareness to promote cross-linguistic transfer\nExamining similarities and differences between the languages related to\n\nPhonology and orthography (sound-letter correspondences)\nMorphology (word parts and word formation)\nLexicon (vocabulary\, cognates and false cognates)\nSyntax (sentence structure)\nDiscourse (spoken or written)\nPragmatics (language use in context)\n\n\nAssessing language production holistically\n\nSchedule:  April 3-7 and April 11\, 2022 (ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN STANDARD TIME) \n\n\n\nMonday\, April 3\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar I: The Context for Language and Literacy Instruction in a Spanish/English Dual Language Program \n\n\nTuesday\, April 4\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar II: Developing Awareness of Similarities and Differences between Spanish and English – Part I\n\n\nWednesday\, April 5\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar III: Developing Awareness of Similarities and Differences between Spanish and English – Part II\n\n\nThursday\, April 6\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar IV: Developing Awareness of Similarities and Differences between Spanish and English – Part III\n\n\nFriday\, April 6\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar V: Developing Awareness of Similarities and Differences between Spanish and English – Part IV\n\n\nCompletion of Project on Own\n3-hour\, self-paced project\n\n\nTuesday\, April 11\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nWebinar VI: Assessing language production holistically and Project Presentations\n\n\n\n\nVenue\nThis Institute will be held online through interactive online webinars and a self-paced assignment.  \nProject Due for Last Class on April 11 (3 hours on own) \nApplication to Your Classroom\n\nDesign an activity for developing metalinguistic awareness.
