Explicit instruction on the language of quantitative reasoning for ELLS

jeudi 1 juin 2017 à 09:30–10:15 EDT
Boardroom
Abstract

The language of quantitative reasoning is challenging for ELLs because of the specialized vocabulary and grammatical knowledge that is required. In this workshop, we will identify specific word- and sentence-level features utilized when reading and writing about quantitative information. We will then provide ideas for the instruction of these features.
