| Title: | ESL and Bilingual Literacy in the Science Classroom (P133) |
| Description: | This session will focus on effective ESL and bilingual strategies for high school science classes, with a strong focus on enhancing literacy. The session will explore best practices to help students at all proficiency levels access complex science content, ensuring that language is not a barrier to learning. Participants will learn how to infuse language development techniques in science instruction, integrating reading, writing, and speaking exercises that align with both content and language learning goals. Some key strategies to be discussed include frontloading and scaffolding techniques, collaborative learning strategies, incorporating visual aids and graphic organizers to support comprehension, and more. Attendees will leave with practical tools to improve student engagement and understanding in order to bridge the gap between science content and language acquisition and foster success for all students in your science classroom. |
