Inspiring English Learners with Wordless Images
Literacy can be a challenge for any student, but English Learners face the additional challenge of working with a new and unfamiliar language-- then being tested on their proficiency. This interactive session will demonstrate how wordless images provide a nonthreatening opportunity for ELs to discover their voice and use creativity as a tool for communication. Learn how to employ a disguised learning, project-based methodology that allows for limitless scaffolding to meet the needs of ELs at every level of proficiency.
This talk was presented at:
National Title I Conference
February 2018
in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
