2021 WAESOL Annual Conference

Una presentación verdaderamente centrada en ejemplos prácticos para apoyar cada una de las metas dirigidas al desarrollo óptimo de la lectoescritura. Desde la expresión oral, la fonología, fonética y la decodificación; hasta la lectura con fluidez… ¡Estos centros de actividades con propósito, apoyan exitosamente cada una de estas competencias! Participants will be able to take-away great ideas to plan lessons with EQUITY using Purposeful Activity Centers, PACs, which successfully address various proficiency levels in second language development.

As language learning involves ongoing productive practice, it requires active knowledge construction rather than passive knowledge transmission. The mechanical learning approaches to language acquisition have failed the communicative needs of the contemporary communication. This study aims to address how games could positively enhance active critical language learning among ESL/EFL learners.

This session will report data from a survey of K-12 educators examining how prepared they feel to teach multilingual learners with disabilities (MLDs). This presentation will examine the implications of professional development for educators of MLDs and inclusive education in the pursuit of educational equity for these learners.

This workshop is designed to help teachers identify and practice social-emotional care by setting realistic healthy routines. Participants will have the opportunity to identify sources of stress in their lives, learn how to set personal boundaries, and how to develop a self-care plan that is ideal for their unique situation.
