STRAND: Using Science Inquiry to Facilitate Learning for Multilingual Learners

Show Details

Increase multilingual learners’ success in STEM by taking a language-based approach. Assist multilingual learners to deconstruct and unpack dense scientific sentences as “STEM Sentence Detectives.”

TAKEAWAYS:
Participants will learn: 1. to select juicy sentences in scientific texts that will be challenging for multilingual learners; 2. to “unpack” the meaning of each sentence chunk to point out which elements of each chunk in the sentence are helpful in illuminating the meaning; and 3. several reading strategies that support multilinguals’ understanding of scientistic text.

SPEAKERS:
