SUCCESS IN EVERY LANGUAGE: SUPPORTING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS

In this September episode of Edufaith Essentials, Dr. Nakia explores how families, educators, and school leaders can help English language learners thrive academically, socially, and culturally.

• Research-based vocabulary, literacy, speaking, and writing strategies

• How to maintain academic rigor while providing appropriate instructional support
• The dangers of confusing language differences with disabilities
• Findings from Dr. Nakia’s research on school culture, teacher attitudes, instructional confidence, and English learner achievement
