I appreciate this video for MANY reasons. I want to thank you for so many nuggets! Firstly, I am glad that the use of the term Multilingual Learner was explained. I am immediately going to cease using the term “English Language Learner”. I am also thankful for is the use of the terms “Heritage Language” and “oracy”. I had never heard them before and will add them to my vocabulary!
Secondly, the reminder to better pace myself is one that I need to hear over and over again. I seem to go through life in a RUSH: I walk quickly, I move from task to task quickly and I speak WAY too quickly!
Another thing that I appreciate is to have been given the link to follow Dr. Lillian Ardell on Instagram to continue my learning in this area!
Lastly (this really isn’t the last thing, but how long can this comment really be?!), THANK YOU for providing meaningful, appropriate, responsive learning opportunities for your members. I will forever be grateful that I found you!
Hi Tania,
I”m thrilled you had such powerful takeaways from the training. Dr. Ardell is such a valuable resource, and we love sharing her whenever we can!
Warmly,
Sarah
