Linguistics Colloquium Talk Dr. Andrea B. Hellman: Teacher perspectives on educating English learners during the pandemic
Date and time
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, February 16, 2021
Description

When schools implemented emergency plans for instructing students during the pandemic emergency, all groups of students were not impacted equally. The presenter reports on a study that explored teachers’ experiences with how English learner families were served after schools closed for face-to-face instruction in spring 2020.

The goal of the study was to identify takeaways for creating instructional plans for emergency situations that are suitable for English learners and make it feasible for them to continue learning both grade-level content and language remotely. The findings indicated that a large segment of English learners lost their access to schooling due to a lack of planning for their specific needs. Participants will discuss a proposed action plan for recovering equity in education for language minority students.
