According to UNICEF, data has shown that there are over 200 million children around the world who have disabilities, and many don’t receive the resources they need. Within that population, children who are learning English as an additional language while living in a new country face unique challenges as they are adjusting to a new culture. In the U.S. alone, multilingual learners of English (MLEs) with disabilities are one of the fastest growing populations.
You have an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of these learners. If you want to better support your multilingual learners of English with disabilities, we can show you how!
Developed by an English language teaching expert who specializes in bilingual special education; language and cultural diversity; culturally responsive practice; and brain development and disorders, our new 60-hour self-study course, Supporting Multilingual Learners of English With Exceptional Needs, will provide you with the foundational knowledge, tools, and resources you need to start helping your most vulnerable students.
Our course is divided into six content modules (in addition to an introductory module) and covers topics including the nature of disability; acculturation and resiliency; strategies and practices for supporting MLEs with disabilities; and differentiating between language or cultural difference and disability. You’ll have activities to help you immediately and concretely apply what you learn to your work.
Take the course at your own pace, when and where it's convenient for you!
