The Evolving World of English Learning: A School’s-Eye View

15 NOVEMBER PANEL

22 NOVEMBER PANEL 

OVERVIEW

Today’s multilingual learners are beginning their English language learning education younger, with an expectation they will need to do more in English – in the academic classroom, in the workplace, and in their personal lives. This is a growing audience that includes international schools, bilingual schools, and other types of institutions teaching an international or national curriculum – and sometimes both. To support these goals, schools must focus on the learning outcomes they wish to achieve in English, as well as the skills, competencies, and mindset they need to equip students with to reach them. In this session, we’ve invited educators from schools grappling with these challenges to share their experiences, including how they are preparing learners with the English they need to access the curriculum.
