This workshop provides an overview of the language of school. Jim Cummins’ work in Cognitive Academic Language (CALP) and Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) will be presented as a foundation to explain the differences between social and academic language along with the research of Frances Christie and Beverly Derewianka which provides a trajectory of the expected development of academic language in school. Staff will interact with a variety of text, including that from their own curriculum, and will work to deautomatize their own comprehension of complex text.
Objectives:
  • Participants will understand how social and academic language are distinct from each other.
  • Participants will be introduced to the components of academic language
  • Participants will deautomatize their own comprehension of complex adult text.
  • Participants will deautomatize their own comprehension of the student text used in their teaching.
