This episode looks closely at teaching and learning academic language with Diane Staehr Fenner and Sydney Snyder. Discussed is the need to bring in sociocultural context and background knowledge that our students bring with them. Also talks how we can avoid taking a one-size-fits-all approach and personalize learning to accelerate learning. Of course, Diane and Sydney also share some simple and effective strategies from their book Unlocking Multilingual Learners’ Potential: Strategies for Making Content Accessible and Culturally Responsive Teaching for Multilingual Learners: Tools for Equity that teachers are able to implement right away.
