WABE 2025 Annual Conference

Supporting both Newcomers and Long-Term English Learners (LTELs) requires targeted strategies that address their unique language and academic needs. This session will explore research-based approaches to accelerate language acquisition, build academic confidence, and foster meaningful engagement. Participants will gain practical tools for scaffolding instruction, leveraging students’ cultural and linguistic assets, and creating an inclusive, language-rich environment that promotes success for all English learners.
