CAL’s Activities at La Cosecha

Pre-Conference Institute

Focusing on Similarities and Differences Between Spanish and English to Promote Students’ Metalinguistic Awareness

Facilitator:  Igone Arteagoitia, Center for Applied Linguistics, Dual Language and Multilingual Education

Date: November 13, 2024

This session will provide participants with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of Spanish and English language systems and structures, and examine similarities and differences between them as they relate to:

• Phonology and orthography (sound-letter correspondences)
• Morphology and the lexicon (word parts and vocabulary)
• Syntax (sentence structure)
• Discourse (language use beyond the sentence)

At the end of the session, participants will be able to identify systems and structures of Spanish and English and use methods for teaching similarities and differences between the two languages that promote students’ metalinguistic awareness. Practical classroom-based instructional strategies and opportunities to put them into practice are embedded throughout the session.

Making your Program the Best it Can Be Santa Fe Community Convention Center – Coronado/DeVargas Igone Arteagoitia I Research Scientist, Center for Applied Linguistics The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) receives many requests to provide professional development (PD) to district and school leadership and teachers to enhance their DL programs; but how do requestors know what kind of PD will serve their DL staff best and whether PD without attention to other program factors will achieve change? Learn how CAL conducts evaluations framed by equity, using the Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education (Howard et al., 2018) as the theoretical framework and the third pillar of Sociocultural Competence as the compass. Framed by equity, this session from the Center for Applied Linguistics will share why it is important and how districts and schools can conduct program reviews that will lead to program enhancement.
