HCSI 2022 Individual Recorded Session: The Neurobiology of Bilingualism in Language Learning and Literacy

This workshop will review the neurobiology of bilingualism including the mechanisms that are fundamental to the observed differences between bilinguals and monolinguals, and to managing the processing load inherent in literacy development and second language learning. We will review the research on bilingualism to determine the extent to which bilinguals can “turn one language off” in language production and the degree in which bilinguals can suppress their native language when learning to read in English. We will cover the benefits of bilingualism to facilitate comprehension tasks and highlight the typical errors that may be observed in language production to identify issues such as transfer, silent period, code switching, language loss, and phonetic patterns. We will explain typical issues of bilingualism in vocabulary, meaning, pronunciation, grammar, and other acquisition patterns to differentiate them from reading disorders. We will review interventions for phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and other strategies in a multi-tiered system of supports for the provision of culturally and linguistically responsible services that improve equitable outcomes for multilingual students.

 

This is a recorded session from the Hill Country Summer Institute 2022 conference, which may be viewed anytime 6/22/22 through 8/15/22.  This recorded session has a short quiz following the recording in order to give asynchronous credit.
