Reference no: EM133640959

If we want our emergent bilinguals to have the power of academic language, we must teach it. No matter how much we build accommodations into tests if we do not teach the language necessary to express knowledge and understand content, we are not giving them the tools they need to be independent. This week, you will dive into how to teach the language of assessments.

You will

Share a test question.
Identify its genre/key use.
Pull and cite three language expectations from the WIDA Framework, Brisk, or Derewianka and Jones for students writing in that genre.
Share how you would teach each of those expectations to students at a given level, before you test them on it.
