Presentation Title:
“Unsilenced Classrooms”, Oracy & Biliteracy Take an Active Role in DL Implementation: A TxEDLIF Approach
Presentation Options: Onsite
Presentation Strand: Dual Language/Dual Immersion
Presentation Delivery Language: English
Description:
Hear about how biliteracy has transformed Dual Language classrooms as we pilot the Texas Effective Dual Language Immersion Framework (TxEDLIF) across the state. Participants will understand the importance of biliteracy instruction as we discuss oracy strategies that provide access to content in the language of instruction for Emergent Bilingual students.
Abstract:
Hear about oracy development as a key driver of biliteracy instruction within the Texas Effective Dual Language Immersion Framework (TxEDLIF). The implementation of the TX instructional framework has elevated biliteracy instructional practices and transformed DL programming across the state. Our work within participating Texas school districts has engaged teachers in conversations about fostering oracy as a right within the DL classroom. We will explain the benefits that building oracy prior to literacy provides to students and describe research-based strategies that support the development of oracy and background knowledge. In this session, participants will leave with explicit planning ideas for implementing strategies that build both receptive (listening) and productive (speaking) oral language use that increase student-to-student interactions in the language of instruction.
