This session focuses on practical strategies to strengthen expressive language development for multilingual learners by increasing opportunities for both oracy and writing in the classroom. Participants will explore how to intentionally plan for structured student talk, meaningful writing tasks, and language production across content areas. Using the WIDA Consortium standards and resources, educators will learn how to align instruction to students’ language proficiency levels and design supports that promote growth in speaking and writing. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and tools to create language-rich classrooms where multilingual learners can confidently express their thinking.
