Description

This eWorkshop will focus on the essential question: How can I set up routines and learning activities that promote the use of home languages in my classroom? Participants will engage in five modules that include readings, videos, and activities to try with students.

Modules 1-5 contain the following guiding questions that support participants in responding to the essential question: 

  1.  What are some warm-up activities to bring home languages into my classroom? 
  2.  How can I leverage the use of home languages when studying vocabulary? 
  3. How can I structure learning activities that require two or more languages, even if I am not in a bilingual school? 
  4. How can I help learners reflect upon their own bilingualism? 
  5. How can I encourage conversations about the language use of our students, families and communities? 

Educators will select ideas to try out in their classrooms and are encouraged to form a professional learning community or share their learning with colleagues. The estimated time needed to complete the eWorkshop is 20 hours
