Scaffolding Academic Writing for Beginner ELLs

Session Abstract

Often, we assume ELLs do not acquire academic language until intermediate proficiency. However, as Common Core increases language demands for all students, it magnifies the urgency for ELLs. Using classroom examples, this session presents an instructional framework for scaffolding academic writing, proving beginners are more capable than we often think.
