EDC G 645 - Reading the Word and the World: Bilteracy in the Content Areas

3 Credit(s)

Description:
Grounded in the theory and research on biliteracy, participants will examine the process of learning to read and write in two languages, and how that process is supported in various types of programs and schools around the world, across the nation, and in the state of Massachusetts. Participants will also look at the socio-cultural and linguistic context of biliteracy and its implications for instructional practice. Using biliteracy learner profiles and profiles of educators teaching for biliteracy, participants will study how teachers can implement the Biliteracy Unit Framework to support and assess their students’ cross-linguistic development in the content areas. Finally, participants will explore avenues to develop professional leadership in biliteracy studies.
