Throughout the course, participants will learn practical techniques to support student writing in more than one language. This includes strategies for promoting language transfer, building vocabulary and language structures, developing cohesive and coherent written texts, and providing meaningful feedback to enhance writing skills. We'll focus on key strategies and factors including: "translanguaging", code-switching, scaffolded writing instructions, and more.

This course is perfect for dual language educators, coaches, teachers, and administrators who aim to enhance their instructional practices in supporting students as writers in multiple languages. By implementing the strategies and techniques taught in this course, educators will be better equipped to set students up for success as writers in both languages and promote their overall language development and academic achievement.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a toolkit of research-based strategies to help students thrive as writers in any language, while building their confidence, creativity, and academic success.
