There is no simple formula for teaching multilingual learners of English. Beyond implementing certain instructional strategies, teachers need to learn as they go to understand and adjust to learners' individual assets, needs, and characteristics in specific contexts and interactions. This workshop will introduce the ‘DIGPA’ experiential learning cycle framework as a tool for engaging in reflective practice in community and moving towards more effective and humanizing instruction for multilingual learners. Participants will collaboratively use the framework to describe and interpret key moments in their experiences working with multilingual learners and identify potential future actions based on their insights.
In this session you will:
Become familiar with the ‘DIGPA’ experiential learning cycle framework as a tool to gain insights from ‘puzzling’ situations in teaching.
- Collaboratively use the framework to describe and interpret key moments in working with multilingual learners of English and identify potential future actions based on their insights.
