Nationally, one in five students is categorized as an English Language Learner. As emergent bilingual Americans, developing the potential of these students is a national priority. Focused solely on English, instruction for emergent bilinguals often disregards their full linguistic capacities. This symposium examines dynamic bilingualism as the practice of engaging students’ bilingual language skills to advance learning in English.
The Literacy and Multilingual Studies Department of Mercy College in collaboration with the New York State Association for Bilingual Education (NYSABE) invite you to join the dialogue on using bilingualism as a resource for academic achievement. A provocative keynote address and a panel of educators will explore strategies, successes, and possibilities. The audience will be invited to ask questions and share challenges to move toward an improved and progressive educational approach for all emergent bilinguals.
