Instructional Guidance
“Instruction should be organized to maximize students’ ability to take what they know in one language and express it through the other. This requires creating a variety of distinct and meaning-enriched opportunities to use language and learn concepts that are intentionally linked across the day.” ~Miramontes et al (2011)
