Empowering Biliteracy: Strengthening Cross-Linguistic Connections in Multilingual Programs

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 Metalinguistic Anchor Charts and Así se dice we will equip teachers with the practical skills to develop students' biliteracy through understanding the relationship between their two languages.
