Session #3: Presented by Dr. Douglas Sewell

Title: Supporting ELL junior High and High School Students with Vocabulary in Content Specific Subjects

Are you in search of how to deal with the shear volume of vocabulary that needs to be learnt in each specific subject area? The session will begin with a brief activity to develop an understanding of what it actually means to know a word. Next we will work on how to identify critical vocabulary within specific subject areas and then how to develop within students the ability to 'know' what those words actually mean. Central to this workshop will be strategies that can help English language learners increase their lexical comprehension and retention.

This learning opportunity is being offered through curriculum implementation funding from Alberta Education
