Keynote: High challenge and high support: Amplifying the opportunities offered language learners to engage in generative academic activity

To successfully and responsibly navigate the twenty first century citizens require complex skills: navigating uncertainty, collaborating with others who have very different perspectives, using multiple languages, advocating for themselves and their communities, moving among different identities, and solving novel problems. This presentation will use videos from classroom instruction to unpack and illustrate five principles that guide quality learning for language learners and prepare them for a complex future will be unpacked. Shifts in understanding and practice required by the implementation of these principles will also be addressed, redirecting some common misconceptions in the field.
