CONFERENCE PRESENTATION: 2026 San Diego Dual Language Conference

Join SEAL to gain practical skills to develop students' biliteracy through understanding the relationship between their two languages.

January 23 - 24, 2026

San Diego, Calif.

Bilingual children need the skills to analyze and understand both their languages; to know how they work and how they are similar and different. This interactive workshop will explore how to develop students’ metalinguistic awareness through cross-linguistic strategies and practices. Through classroom videos and strategies such as Así se dice and Metalinguistic Anchor Charts, we will equip teachers with the practical skills to develop students' biliteracy through understanding the relationship between their two languages.
