Virtual Fishbowl Teacher and Student Discourse Moves - EL (6-8)

Learning Activity

We know that multilingual students strengthen both content and language development by actively participating in rich oral discourse. We will be discussing the language that students need to engage and inquire in digital classrooms by examining student and teacher discourse moves. We will unpack this particular dimension of language by using WIDA research-based practices. Together we will explore using a virtual fishbowl to empower students to participate while also raising metalinguistic awareness about how we communicate together in a virtual environment.
