As elementary educators, we incorporate opportunities for language acquisition and learning into our classrooms every day. In our increasingly global world, our classrooms often include children whose home language is not English. In this class, we will explore strategies for supporting English as a New Language (ENL) students that benefit all children in a monolingual classroom. We will review different theories of language acquisition and learning, the benefits of multilingual classrooms, and how we can use this knowledge to support all of the children and families in our care. Participants will leave with a toolkit of ideas for classroom design and instruction to help support these students as well as their families.
