Content-Based Instruction

Inglés Presencial Taller Congreso Internacional de Lenguas

The goal of this workshop is to broaden awareness of the challenges that are inherent in Content- Based Instruction and to suggest effective ways in making both content and language more accessible to ESL/EFL learners. Participants will discuss what it means to be functionally literate and how literacy encompasses not just reading, writing and vocabulary knowledge but also cultural understanding. In pairs or in small groups they will analyze texts from various content areas and determine what literacy and language elements may cause problems for non-native English-speaking students. They will then suggest how these items may be taught in ways that make both content and language more accessible to ESL/EFL learners.
