"I'm not an English teacher, and even if I were, I couldn't teach both English and my content at the same time!" In this talk, we will go over the basics of how humans learn language, how second language acquisition relates to first language acquisition, and ways that non-language teachers can help our growing population of secondary ELL students find success. We will also discuss the common accommodations our district gives to ELL students, as well as dedicate time to sharing stories and Q&A.
