Linguistics for Teachers of Emergent Bilinguals
Are you a dedicated teacher doing your best to support your emergent bilinguals — but still feeling frustrated or unsure about how to help them advance academically?
You’re not alone.
Emergent bilinguals are smart, capable, and motivated to succeed. They’re multicultural, multilingual, and resilient. But too often, instruction doesn't align with how language and literacy develop.
This course — Linguistics for Teachers of Emergent Bilinguals — is designed for educators who want to go beyond goodwill and good intentions. You’ll learn the fundamentals of linguistic knowledge, how a speaker of another language acquires English, and the science of reading and writing — and how to use this knowledge to design evidence-based, culturally sustaining, and socio-emotionally sound instruction. No more guesswork. No more overwhelm. Just clear, actionable, research-backed teaching — so you can help every emergent bilingual thrive.
