Under WIOA, academic and professional writing is increasingly important for transitioning adult English learners to postsecondary training and for careers that pay family-sustaining wages.
On March 2nd from 1:00-2:30pm (ET), join the LINCS Community for “Teaching Academic Writing to Adult English Learners,” a 90-minute webinar that examines the results of a survey describing the place and characteristics of teaching academic writing in classes and provides an overview of instructional approaches that teachers can use.
After the webinar, join an expert-led discussion (in the English Language Acquisition Group) that addresses specific academic writing approaches.
Activity participants can expect to:
- gain knowledge of various instructional approaches for teaching academic writing,
- learn how to adapt approaches for learners at different proficiency levels, and
- learn about new resources for class writing and learning activities.
Register for the English Language Acquisition Group to join the conversation: Register today!
Thanks!
