In this session, participants will be provided with an overview of the research base on academic discourse with ELs and SELs. They will then learn the key conversational skills that will deepen their EL and SEL students' academic discourse, including: 1) setting up conversational discourse; 2) clarifying/negotiating ideas; 3) linking conversational skills to the ELD Standards Collaborative Mode and ELPAC; and 4) planning for conversational discourse. Book signing immediately following session.
