Everyone knows being bi- or multilingual is a wonderful asset! How can adult English Language teachers create the opportunity for English learners to draw upon their primary language to support learning English?

Join the guest presenters, Xavier Muñoz, Director of Academic Programs and Student Services, The English Empowerment Center, Katie Donoviel, Executive Director, English Skills Learning Center, and Alexis Cherewka, Senior Technical Advisor, World Education to learn ways to design and implement a multilingual approach with adult English learners. The presenters will address misconceptions about multilingualism and feature examples of effective strategies. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how to adapt these ideas to their own context.
