This session was co-created by four student teachers who noted the challenges they and their mentor teachers face in promoting and supporting target language use in dual language classrooms. This panel presentation will explain how different models of dual language lead to a complex environment for dual language learners. Additionally, it will cover solutions and strategies for supporting target language use in all subject areas.
Dr. Renee Shank is the coordinator of the BECA (Bilingual Educators CApacity) program at the University of Washington. She is a former bilingual teacher and advocate.
