Improving Outcomes for English Language Learners: Oral Language and Literacy Learning Across the Curriculum 

 

October 5-6, 2009

 

Austin, TX

AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center 

 

The language processes required to comprehend and succeed across an educational curriculum are complex and challenging, even for students who speak English as their first language. For English language learners in the United States, the simultaneous requisites of developing English language and literacy skills heightens the challenge. 

 

The 2009 CREATE conference will highlight current research on methods for building literacy skills and oral language development for English language learners throughout the school curriculum. Join us as CREATE researchers and other top scholars describe implications of their research on the features of instruction that support English language learners' development across their curricular experience. 

 

This conference is intended for instructional leaders in state and regional agencies, school districts, schools, colleges of education, and publishing companies. The conference supports participants' learning with essential readings on the central themes of the conference (distributed in advance), keynote presentations, question-and-answer sessions with presenters, and small group interactions with colleagues.
