The acquisition of reading skills is vital to the development
of literacy in any language. This session discusses pre-,

students, especially students who have had interrupted
formal education (SIFE). Participants learn the appropriate use
of high-interest, low-difficulty reading selections.
Sheltered Instruction Strategies for Language and Content
Workshop*
Level: K–12
Session focuses on language and content sheltered
instruction and explores proven-effective, research-based
planning tools for working with ELLs in elementary classrooms
or secondary content area classrooms. This is a three-day
session workshop (full days), presented either concurrently or
separately.
*$3,500 per day for 35 participants. $50 per day for each
additional participant.
Session 1 (Day 1) 978-1-62263-144-5
Participants learn effective strategies for planning and
preparation: how to select and use appropriate basal and
supplemental instructional materials, adapt content to
different levels of ELL proficiency, and deliver lessons. They
also learn about comprehensible input, and how it is used to
inform explanations of academic tasks, and the application
of a variety of classroom techniques to make content
concepts clear (such as modeling, visuals, hands-on activities,
demonstrations, experiments, gestures, and body language).
Session 2 (Day 2) 978-1-62263-145-2
Participants learn how to use effective teaching strategies
to ensure comprehensible input. They create content and
language objectives and opportunities for students to use
learning strategies themselves. Participants also learn a
variety of scaffolding techniques, including literacy support
and the consistent use of scaffolding throughout instruction.
Session 3 (Day 3) 978-1-62263-146-9
Participants learn to incorporate additional teaching strategies
that focus on building background knowledge and activating
prior knowledge, such as grouping configurations that support
both language and content learning and clarifications in both
L1 and L2. They also learn how to incorporate practice and
application activities that reinforce language and content
objectives and explore ways to review the objectives,
including targeted vocabulary (both subject area/technical
and academic vocabulary) and key concepts and ideas. The
session also addresses the use of formative and summative
assessments to evaluate students.
Theory and Practice of Language Acquisition
9781631135934 | Levels K–12
The session focuses on the current research framework
that supports high-quality, effective teaching and learning
practices in the classroom: First v. Second Language
Acquisition, Factors that Affect Language Acquisition in the
Classroom, the Affective Filter, Language Proficiency and
Leveling, Thomlinson’s Differentiated Instruction, and others.
Participants explore teaching and learning strategies based on
this framework, and are presented with hands-on, classroom-
tested examples, as well as samples of instructional materials
that support this methodological framework.
