​The first half of the workshop focused on fostering speaking and listening skills that develop academic language, literacy, and content understandings across disciplines and grade levels (K 12). The second half focused on fostering conversation skills that develop academic language, literacy, and content understandings across disciplines. Participants engaged in activities and watched video clips that modeled structured oral language activities and formative assessment practices. ​
