10:30 - 12:45	Deep Dive Session 3 How can we increase oral narrative competence for students learning English in a CBLT context? Andrea Buffara Escola Americana de Vitória & Gamut Education The objectives of this session are: to show you how to accelerate and improve L2 output andproficiency and to increase the quality and quantity of parent interactions in the school. Participants will examine the fundamental role of student output in a 2nd language. We will begin by looking at how we are planning our lessons to promote this, then discover, through the regular use of technology, how educators can model language and push for student oral rehearsal; output. In addition we will talk about practical ways to involve families in the process.	Deep Dive Session 4 Collective efficacy in the classroom: How to save time and impact learning Angela Hernandez Avenues, São Paulo In this session we will explore practical ways teachers and administrators can find evidence of impact in language immersion classrooms. Participants will identify how changes in classroom practices influence student language outcomes by examining specific evidence of student learning. They will co-create tools they can use to hear from students about their learning, their progress, their struggles, and their motivation to keep learning. We will also examine student artifacts such as assignments, assessments, portfolios, and other indicators of daily progress. We will explore how to find the link between teachers' actions and student outcomes, and how the factors behind student progress are within teachers’ collective sphere of influence.
Or…	If you do not attend one of the Deep Dive sessions you have the option of 2 workshop sessions...
10:30 - 11:30	Workshop Sessions A Infusing the Habits of Mind in the Classroom: Empowering Students to Take Part in the Learning Process Patricia Ribeiro - Pueri Domus It is important that educators trust and collaborate with students in outlining course design. Teachers set clear expectations, while students take part in their growth through self-monitoring and self-discipline, becoming increasingly aware of their strengths and needs. Art Costa and Benna Kalick outlined a set of sixteen skills and attitudes that promote student autonomy, confidence, and a mature learning approach. This set of dispositions gear students toward performing more conscientiously when faced with challenges and new learning situations. We will explore: - how to infuse the habits of mind through strategies that will empower students and develop better learners, also creating a productive and accountable learning environment. - the active integration of habits of mind during instruction, having learners take part in the instructional design. Por que (não) usar a BNCC como Referência para Aulas de Imersão ou Educação Bilíngue? Eduardo Francini - Unicamp De maneira criativa e instigante, este workshop tem como objetivo geral desenvolver o pensamento crítico dos participantes em relação à proposta da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para Língua Inglesa, pensando nos contextos de imersão e de educação bilíngue. Espera-se que ao longo da oficina os participantes consigam: o Identificar as demandas por um currículo com base em competências (Competency-based curriculum); o Diferenciar competências de habilidades e entender as relações entre elas; o Analisar um modelo de matriz curricular para ensino da língua inglesa amparada pela BNCC; o Conhecer as práticas CBTL usadas como alternativas à BNCC no ensino público de inglês. It's a Whatchamacallit, you know, the Whatchamacallit ! Sherina Isolica - Alef Pertez Academic language is a centrepiece for academic success according to Margo Gottlieb and Gisela Ernst-Slavit. The aim of this workshop is to explore the dimensions, scope and varying contexts of academic language. As educators we are challenged in planning and delivering classes in L2 yet at times overlook the academic language that must also be embedded in our lessons. The workshop will give participants insights into what is academic language, its importance and together we will plan academic language related to a specific content. Emergent Reading in Early Years: a strategy to build vocabulary and confidence in young learners of a second language. Marina Braga - Avenues, SP Aaron Van Borek - Avenues, SP Reading is part of most teachers' and children's daily routine. We read to develop children's imagination, creativity, vocabulary, language, love for reading and more. In a bilingual environment, reading becomes an even more powerful strategy for language learning. However, reading happens not only when teachers take the lead, but also in individual and small group situations. During this workshop, we intend to explain the concept and possibilities of Emergent reading and the ways we can use it as a strategy of language learning in Early Years. Creative Thinking and Language Development Through The Studio Habits of Mind Michelle Kauffmann Benarush - Escola Eleva What are the changes and challenges of contemporary art education in an immersion setting? We will dive into contemporary art education and see how students develop creative thinking and academic language while expressing ideas visually. We will experience the Studio Habits of Mind (PZ) as a means to teaching students how to think like artists and develop the language to express their learning. Participants will identify elements of SHoM as they experience a creative assignment and reflect on how to use guiding questions and sentence starters in this process.
11:40 - 12:40	Workshop Sessions B Professional Growth: Free Resources for Teachers from the Regional English Language Office Jennifer Uhler - Regional English Language Office, U.S. Embassy Brazil Good teachers constantly seek ways to grow and learn. This presentation looks closely at the professional cycle of career teachers with the aim of self-reflection and goal-setting. Participants will use TESOL 6 Principles to assess their current needs and learn about some tools for continued collaboration and professional growth. Finally, the presenter will provide an overview of free materials, online courses, professional development opportunities, and programs that support quality English language teaching and learning with a focus on the integration of content with teaching language. All attendees will leave with new ideas and resources for building and sustaining their own professional growth. Alinhando Conteúdo e Língua para o Ensino dos padrões Gramaticais Silvia Juhas - Utah State Board of Education O workshop apresentará exemplos de como incorporar a teoria counterbalance, de Roy Lyster, professor emérito de da Universidade McGill, Canadá, ao ensino dos padrões gramaticais de forma implícita e explícita, alinhando o ensino da língua e os conteúdos curriculares.

Os participantes analisarão o currículo e as atividades desenvolvidas para o ensino da língua portuguesa no estado de Utah, EUA, e criarão uma proposta para ser aplicada em aulas. Secret Sauce to Success Mariana Carvalho - EARJ – Escola Americana, RJ In this session, I will share the secret sauce to support academic language development with practical, engaging, and proven strategies that can be implemented in your content based language classrooms and/or English language support services. Storytelling and Vocabulary Learning: The Usage of Multimodal Resources as Pedagogical Tools in Kindergarten Patricia Azevedo - Aubrick The aim of this workshop is to analyze the importance of storytelling activity as a means of transmission of culture and language usage model with a focus on the multimodal resources, teacher ́s gestures and books’ illustration, used as pedagogical tools to enhance students ́ oral comprehension and vocabulary learning in L2 in kindergarten groups. Learning outcomes: The importance of storytelling as a means of transmission of culture and language usage model. Raising awareness of the benefits of multimodal resources usage during storytelling. Enhancing student ́s oral comprehension and vocabulary learning through storytelling. Educação Socioemocional na Prática: o que é preciso saber e como desenvolver com qualidade na escola? Renata Abdelnur - Ludie Neste workshop, vamos desenvolver uma prática de auto reflexão para identificação de aspectos socioemocionais dos educadores e de habilidades como autoconhecimento, autogestão, flexibilidade para mudanças, capacidade de escuta, empatia e comunicação. Em sequência, traremos uma reflexão sobre a importância e os reflexos da inteligência emocional do professor no clima da sala de aula, com estratégias de autogestão emocional e orientações para o trabalho socioemocional em sala de aula. O foco do workshop será construir um olhar empático para as necessidades de autocuidado do professor e para os reflexos de seu estado emocional nos alunos. "Se queremos que o professor seja capaz de cuidar das demandas e potencializar os resultados de seus alunos, precisamos, de antemão, suprir suas necessidades e muni-lo de recursos para que desenvolva seu trabalho com maestria."
12:45 - 13:55	Lunch Break (on your own)
14:00 - 15:00	Plenary: Dr. Margo Gottielb Academic Language Use in Language Development: What Does It Mean for Educators in CBLT? Academic language is often equated with the language of school. But what does it look like and how might it be used as a teaching tool? How might academic language be deconstructed to enhance its comprehensibility for students who are in the process of developing language? You will come away with clear ideas as to what constitutes academic language use, some misconceptions surrounding the construct, and its critical role in teaching and learning.
15:10 - 17:20	Deep Dive Session 5 Moving Beyond Accuracy: Developing Academic Language in CBLT Dr. Mandy Menke University of Minnesota Language intended to convey academic content differs from the language of everyday interpersonal communication. Indeed, research has repeatedly shown that the language of academics takes longer to develop and that explicit teaching is often required. In this dive-deep workshop, we will explore the linguistic features of academic texts, considering both lexical (vocabulary) and syntactic (grammatical) features, and identify ways to foster the development of an academic register in middle school language immersion classrooms.	Deep Dive Session 6 Focused Instruction to Support Language Learning Dr. Stefani Arzonetti Hite Research has demonstrated that teacher clarity (d=0.75) combined with clearly established learning goals (d=0.68) have a very high impact on student achievement (Hattie, 2017). Put them together and you have Focused Instruction, the essential first step in the Gradual Release of Responsibility model. Participants will: ● Explore the Focused Instruction aspect of the Gradual Release approach; ● Practice developing content and language goals; ● Develop clear success criteria that clarify the learning path for students.
15:10-17:20	Deep Dive Session 7 O ensino de português como língua estrangeira/segunda língua em contexto de educação bilíngue/multilíngue: desafios, abordagens, perspectivas. Dra. Edleise Mendes, UFBA É crescente a presença do português em escolas bilíngues e multilíngues em várias partes do mundo, o que permite já uma sistematização de experiências, metodologias e tendências. A partir desse cenário, discutiremos abordagens pedagógicas e tendências contemporâneas na educação linguística em português língua estrangeira/ segunda língua na educação bilíngue brasileira, abordando, sobretudo, a centralidade das práticas pedagógicas interculturais como eixo organizador do ensino e da formação de professores em contextos multilíngues.	Deep Dive Session 8 Teaching Children to Read and Write in Two Languages. Silvana Gili, Beacon School What are the key aspects in a language programme that fosters literacy development in two languages, simultaneously? This session will pull from research to present essential features that should be considered when designing effective biliteracy in Brazilian CBLT schools. The discussion will contemplate evidence based strategies that foster literacy development; such as, phonemic and phonological awareness, guided reading, and word study, among others. We will discuss the applicability of international research results in our local context and determine cultural differences that may implicate in our choices. This is a research into practice session and participants will produce a model of a Balanced Early Literacy program that may be used with 6-8 yr. old groups in their schools.
Or…	If you do not attend one of the Deep Dive sessions you have the option of 2 workshop sessions...
15:10 - 16:10	Workshop Sessions C Practical Application of Dual Immersion Pedagogy Shauna Winegar - Utah State Board of Education Utah's Dual Language Immersion program is built around 6 core pedagogical strategies that provide a strong instructional framework for student success. Participants will gain an understanding of the pedagogical backbone and instructional framework and leave with practical examples of how these strategies can be incorporated into instruction. Practical examples of how to incorporate objectives, comprehensible input, teacher modeling and student language supports to promote student engagement and language output will be the focus of the workshop. Maker's Hour - Where Story Character's Problems Meet the Real World Karina Wenda - Chapel School In this workshop we will talk about Tinkering, Making, and Engineering Challenges, appropriate for 3 to 8 years-old children and how to make it happen in any setting. At Chapel, Maker's Hour experiences begin at a familiar starting place - the problems characters face in stories. STEAM challenges offer ways to integrate early literacy with all areas of development (social and emotional, physical, and cognitive), and content-areas (mathematics, science, social studies, and arts). Children feel inspired, delighted and engaged as they are given authentic opportunities to develop English Language. Embracing Diversity in the Classroom Marcela Cintra - Cultura Inglesa Much has been discussed in English language teaching about diversity and inclusion to impact a growing number of learners in the educational context. In this workshop, attendees will explore the topics with insight from their contexts. Also, they will examine practical ideas on how professionals can take advantage of their development to cater for a variety of profiles through meaningful differentiation in the classroom. Finally, the sharing of information and ideas will be used to encourage teachers to design inclusive lessons considering the diversity as discussed in the workshop. A importância da intencionalidade do professor na implementação de práticas de multiletramento. Cybelle Moura - Objetivo/Blue School O workshop tem como objetivo, por meio de proposta didática que engloba storytelling e Oficina pedagógica, propor atividade que desenvolva nos estudantes práticas de multiletramento que englobam o letramento crítico e o letramento digital, dentro do contexto do ensino bilíngue fazendo uso da metodologia CBLT na educação infantil e anos iniciais do fund.1 Affection & Cognition in Learning Ana Maria Gurgel - Twice We will explore how to develop our students’ affective processes and discuss the need for attention (differentiation) in the relationship we build with our students. We will reinforce and share examples of how teachers can increase the affective dimension of their teaching while working with the school curriculum that normally prioritizes cognitive development.
16:20 - 17:20	Workshop Sessions D Let's Write Language Objectives : The key to challenging students' language Alexander Giraldo - University of Minnesota This interactive workshop will guide teachers to write language objectives by implementing Tedick and Lyster's (in press) scaffold, which includes discourse type, communicative or academic functions, grammatical features, and vocabulary and unanalyzed chunks. After briefly reviewing some of the research, participants will examine some teacher-developed examples to better understand the significance of writing language objectives in each lesson. Then, we will practice writing some language objectives to increased understanding of how the four components support language development in the classroom. Enriching the Input and Promoting the Output of 3 to 4-Year-Old Children Thaiza Barros - Beacon School Priscila Amado - Beacon School During this session, we will briefly discuss some of the language acquisition theories that are present in our work in order to support our practices. Furthermore, we will provide a range of strategies that may foster children's production of L2 in class. The workshop will mainly focus on approaches and practices for better enriching students' input, thus, advancing their output of the target language. Planejando e praticando para criar, pensar e discutir: como proporcionar o ensino da linguagem como ferramenta para elevar o nível de pensamento dos alunos. Juliana Pereira de Albuquerque Storniolo - FourC Bilingual Academy Carolina Segala - FourC Bilingual Academy Os participantes discutirão estratégias para planejar e aproveitar a oportunidade de ensino da língua como uma ferramenta para elevar o nível de pensamento dos alunos à medida que suas ideias são expressas, discutidas e documentadas. Para isso, serão apoiados no conceito de Cogitare (Costa, 2007) e Rotinas de pensamento propostas pelo grupo de pesquisa de Harvard chamado Project Zero. Da Educação Infantil ao Ensino Médio, tais rotinas podem estar incorporadas em todos os momentos e, com um planejamento linguístico, proporcionar pensamento em duas línguas e o enriquecimento do vocabulário acadêmico. Creating a Learner-Centred Environment; Going beyond the K-W-L Chart Julio Menochelli - Oxford University Press Daniela Medalla - Oxford University Press The speakers will demonstrate several success-oriented, practical classroom strategies and instructional practices that will get your students producing more L2.

Deep Dive Session 4

Collective efficacy in the classroom: How to save time and impact learning

Angela Hernandez
Avenues, São Paulo

In this session we will explore practical ways teachers and administrators can find evidence of impact in language immersion classrooms. Participants will identify how changes in classroom practices influence student language outcomes by examining specific evidence of student learning. They will co-create tools they can use to hear from students about their learning, their progress, their struggles, and their motivation to keep learning. We will also examine student artifacts such as assignments, assessments, portfolios, and other indicators of daily progress. We will explore how to find the link between teachers' actions and student outcomes, and how the factors behind student progress are within teachers’ collective sphere of influence.

Workshop Sessions A

Infusing the Habits of Mind in the Classroom: Empowering Students to Take Part in the Learning Process
Patricia Ribeiro - Pueri Domus

It is important that educators trust and collaborate with students in outlining course design. Teachers set clear expectations, while students take part in their growth through self-monitoring and self-discipline, becoming increasingly aware of their strengths and needs. Art Costa and Benna Kalick outlined a set of sixteen skills and attitudes that promote student autonomy, confidence, and a mature learning approach. This set of dispositions gear students toward performing more conscientiously when faced with challenges and new learning situations. We will explore: - how to infuse the habits of mind through strategies that will empower students and develop better learners, also creating a productive and accountable learning environment. - the active integration of habits of mind during instruction, having learners take part in the instructional design.

It's a Whatchamacallit, you know, the Whatchamacallit !
Sherina Isolica - Alef Pertez

Academic language is a centrepiece for academic success according to Margo Gottlieb and Gisela Ernst-Slavit. The aim of this workshop is to explore the dimensions, scope and varying contexts of academic language. As educators we are challenged in planning and delivering classes in L2 yet at times overlook the academic language that must also be embedded in our lessons. The workshop will give participants insights into what is academic language, its importance and together we will plan academic language related to a specific content.

Emergent Reading in Early Years: a strategy to build vocabulary and confidence in young learners of a second language.
Marina Braga - Avenues, SP
Aaron Van Borek - Avenues, SP

Reading is part of most teachers' and children's daily routine. We read to develop children's imagination, creativity, vocabulary, language, love for reading and more. In a bilingual environment, reading becomes an even more powerful strategy for language learning. However, reading happens not only when teachers take the lead, but also in individual and small group situations. During this workshop, we intend to explain the concept and possibilities of Emergent reading and the ways we can use it as a strategy of language learning in Early Years.

Creative Thinking and Language Development Through The Studio Habits of Mind

Plenary: Dr. Margo Gottielb

Academic Language Use in Language Development: What Does It Mean for Educators in CBLT?

Academic language is often equated with the language of school. But what does it look like and how might it be used as a teaching tool? How might academic language be deconstructed to enhance its comprehensibility for students who are in the process of developing language? You will come away with clear ideas as to what constitutes academic language use, some misconceptions surrounding the construct, and its critical role in teaching and learning.

15:10 - 17:20

Deep Dive Session 5

Moving Beyond Accuracy: Developing Academic Language in CBLT

Dr. Mandy Menke
University of Minnesota

Language intended to convey academic content differs from the language of everyday interpersonal communication. Indeed, research has repeatedly shown that the language of academics takes longer to develop and that explicit teaching is often required. In this dive-deep workshop, we will explore the linguistic features of academic texts, considering both lexical (vocabulary) and syntactic (grammatical) features, and identify ways to foster the development of an academic register in middle school language immersion classrooms.

Deep Dive Session 6

Focused Instruction to Support Language Learning

Dr. Stefani Arzonetti Hite

Research has demonstrated that teacher clarity (d=0.75) combined with clearly established learning goals (d=0.68) have a very high impact on student achievement (Hattie, 2017). Put them together and you have Focused Instruction, the essential first step in the Gradual Release of Responsibility model.

Participants will:
● Explore the Focused Instruction aspect of the Gradual Release approach;
● Practice developing content and language goals;
● Develop clear success criteria that clarify the learning path for students.

Maker's Hour - Where Story Character's Problems Meet the Real World
Karina Wenda - Chapel School

In this workshop we will talk about Tinkering, Making, and Engineering Challenges, appropriate for 3 to 8 years-old children and how to make it happen in any setting. At Chapel, Maker's Hour experiences begin at a familiar starting place - the problems characters face in stories. STEAM challenges offer ways to integrate early literacy with all areas of development (social and emotional, physical, and cognitive), and content-areas (mathematics, science, social studies, and arts). Children feel inspired, delighted and engaged as they are given authentic opportunities to develop English Language.

Embracing Diversity in the Classroom
Marcela Cintra - Cultura Inglesa

Much has been discussed in English language teaching about diversity and inclusion to impact a growing number of learners in the educational context. In this workshop, attendees will explore the topics with insight from their contexts. Also, they will examine practical ideas on how professionals can take advantage of their development to cater for a variety of profiles through meaningful differentiation in the classroom. Finally, the sharing of information and ideas will be used to encourage teachers to design inclusive lessons considering the diversity as discussed in the workshop.

Rayssa de Andrade - UFPE - Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

O bilinguismo é uma realidade na nossa sociedade moderna (BUCHWEITZ, 2013). Neste cenário, temos visto um crescimento exponencial de Escolas Bilíngues de Elite (CAVALCANTI, 1999; MEGALE, 2016), especialmente com enfoque para a Educação Infantil (MESQUITA, no prelo). No entanto, a multidimensionalidade do fenômeno do bilingüismo convoca o educador a pensar em questões diversas como interdisciplinaridade, multiculturalidade, multiletramentos e recursos pedagógicos. O objetivo de aprendizagem do workshop é trazer conceitos, estratégias, recursos e práticas para que os participantes possam usar na Educação Bilíngue (tanto escolar como familiar) nos anos iniciais.

Addressing the Needs of Our Struggling Learners in CBLT

During this session Keren Soriano will moderate a discussion with Dr. Menke and Dr. Genesee about the suitability of CBLT for struggling students. They will discuss how to distinguish between students who are struggling because they have an underlying learning disability from students who are challenged for other reasons, how to support struggling students in the classroom, and what kinds of learning outcomes we can expect of struggling students who participate in CBLT programmes, like immersion.
