    Linguistic Basics for the Dual Language Educator - NEW! 
    Facilitator: Elissa Washburn, DLE Educator & MABE Consultant, MA
    Description: In this session, we will review the components of effective language objectives and break language up into component parts to better understand language function and features. We will define metalinguistic awareness, crosslinguistic connections, and translanguaging and we will discuss how to make a place for these in our DLE classrooms. This course is recommended to start with for a shared understanding of key terms. It will be referenced in all other workshops.

    Students As Language Detectives: Using metalinguistic awareness to build vocabulary in two languages - As seen in MABE 2023 Conference 
    Facilitator:  Rachel Gately, DLE Educator, Worcester Public Schools, MA
    Description: In this session, we will explore classroom tested metalinguistic strategies to help students build their own vocabulary and discover connections across languages. Participants will take on the role of a student to complete a routine that can be flexibly implemented in any classroom. Participants will leave with strategies and resources that can be implemented immediately, as well as ideas on how to get students excited to take ownership of their own learning and how to make vocabulary fun!

    Please note that "Students As Language Detectives" above and "Así Se Dice & Dictado" below take place at the same time. Please select one OR the other.

    Así Se Dice & Dictado: Strategies for Teaching Cross-Linguistic Connections 
    Facilitator: Elissa Washburn, DLE Educator & MABE Consultant, MA 
    Description:     This session is designed to share strategies from Literacy Squared’s Así Se Dice to explicitly teach cross linguistic connections in Spanish DLE classrooms. Participants will discuss how to write targeted metalinguistic awareness language objectives that compare and contrast English and a partner language in a contextualized setting, focusing on the difference between literal and conceptual translations. We will also share strategies from Literacy Squared’s Dictado to explicitly teach phonics, syntax and grammar in Spanish DLE classrooms. Participants will discuss how to write targeted metalinguistic awareness language objectives for dictation exercises that allow students to increase their academic language through writing and editing.

    Introduction to The Bridge 
    Facilitator:  Elissa Washburn, DLE Educator & MABE Consultant, MA  Description: This session is a brief introduction to The Bridge (based on Teaching for Biliteracy: Strengthening Bridges Between Languages) for teachers of DLE learners. We will review three components of the Bridge: a level one translation "bridge," a level two "Bridge" with a metalinguistic focus, and a follow-up activity to the bridge lesson. We will analyze a sample "bridge" from the elementary level and discuss the purpose of each of the three components. Participants will dive deeply into the metalinguistic awareness opportunities provided by the level two bridge and practice planning a sample bridge together.

    Academic Conversations and Visible Thinking Routines: Introduction to Oracy Routines
    Facilitator: Elissa Washburn, DLE Educator & MABE Consultant, MA
    Description:     This PD opportunity is designed to share strategies from Jeff Zwier’s Academic Conversations to explicitly teach oracy in DLE classrooms. Participants will discuss how to write targeted language objectives for teaching discourse moves that allow students to increase their academic language through listening and speaking. We will also share strategies from Harvard's Project Zero's Visible Thinking Routines to explicitly teach oracy in DLE classrooms. Participants will discuss how to write targeted language objectives for thinking routines that allow students to increase their academic language through listening and speaking.

    Scaffolding Oracy for Dual Language Learners
    Facilitator: Elissa Washburn, DLE Educator & MABE Consultant, MA

We will create a variety of scaffolding tiers to support oral language for students at different levels of language acquisition. Please make sure you have both a working understanding of the content covered in the Linguistic Basics for Dual Language Educator session (first session in series) AND a contextualized oracy strategy such as Academic Conversations, Visible Thinking Routines, or other Accountable Talk Strategy in order to sign up for this workshop.
