Participants will:

• Learn about the Common Framework of Reference (CFR) and how it can be used effectively to guide ELLs’ language learning.
• Learn how to write language objectives and why they are important for ELLs.
• Understand the importance of explicit instruction of academic vocabulary and learn how to choose and teach academic vocabulary.
• Explore ways in which AI can be used as a support for teachers of ELLs.
