Multilingual Learners of all grade levels and language backgrounds need engaging ways to grow and thrive as they acquire skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking! During this session, we will explore the unique language needs across proficiency levels. In this session, we will unpack several social media genres that trend across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and more. We will explore the language patterns and unique language demands that are associated with each genre. Together, we will identify entry points into leveraging these genres into our instruction to create engaging ways for students to express their learning.
