Episode 84 - Every Teacher is a Language Teacher. Here is Why!
Teaching multilingual learners requires great knowledge of language acquisition theory, teaching strategies, and methodologies. At the same time, it requires empathy, cultural awareness and openness. And that said, multilingual learners are not only students of EL teachers. They are all of our students. Every teacher is a language teacher.
Sometimes when we talk to our colleagues, we might hear a phrase, but I'm not a language teacher. I teach math, science, social studies, you name it, not English. Well, this episode is for all of you who have ever heard this phrase and all of you who have ever uttered it.
Today, I will break down why every teacher is, in fact, a language teacher, and what knowledge you already have that you can harness to reach students who are learning both English and your subject.
What you will hear about in this episode:
- Importance of knowledge of language acquisition theory, teaching strategies, and methodologies
- Recognition that language is embedded in every subject area
- Overcoming discomfort as a language teacher
- Academic language and its acquisition
- Supporting students in subject area language acquisition
- Tips for teachers to get started in supporting subject area language acquisition
