S10/E5: Supporting Long Term English Learners - Start by Changing the Label with Tan Huynh and Beth Skelton

Highest Aspirations

Is the term “Long Term English Learners” limiting opportunities and academic achievement for this subgroup of students? How can we help these students by uncovering the “hidden curriculum” of language in lessons in order to scaffold support from input to output? What strategies can be used for a school-wide implementation of these practices that foster an environment where all multilingual learners can thrive?

We’ll discuss these questions and much more with our guests Beth Skelton and Tan Huynh. You’re likely familiar with their work and they have come together to write a new book - Long Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals - a fitting title. Check out their bios in our show notes and accompanying blog post.
