Developing a complete picture of multilingual learners is more than knowing their English language proficiency. Deeper development uncovers who multilingual learners are as humans and how their other languages and experiences interact with new language acquisition. Each multilingual learner is uniquely made. #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #teaching #educacion #educación #bilinguismo #bilingue #bilingual_kids #eslteaching

This is an important time to stand up for language education. Teachers of multilingual learners, or English learners, in our nation are important. Every teacher is a language teacher, and every student is a language learner. Language is in every classroom. Language is an asset. It’s part of our identity. It’s integral. It’s culturally rooted, and it’s ever evolving. Never forget how important you are as an educator of all students, including those who speak languages other than English, and are learning English as an additional language. #teaching #teachingenglish #teachingkids #language #languages #education

Throw back tweet from 2021. Still valid. #Bilingualism is admired & sought after by the majority of the adult world. It’s a highly applauded human capital- but in some schools it’s still not seen for the asset that it is. Let’s change that! ❤️🌎🌟
