Some children don't start speaking in their new language for quite some time. In some cases, it can take up to 6 months. Parents and teachers don't need to worry, this is actually a well-known phenomenon called 'the silent period.' #bmls #educatorsofbmls #eslstudents #ealteacher

These 3 little things can make all the difference in supporting your BMLs’ learning and understanding in the classroom. What else have you found to be effective? #bmls #educatorsofbmls #eslstudents #ealteacher #ellteachers

Researchers have often stated that bilingual and multilingual learners are misunderstood by their teachers. This is because many facts seem counterintuitive like, “to learn a new language faster, continue speaking your home language.” How is your knowledge base about BMLs?

Congratulations to Benjamin Franklin International School (BFIS) for becoming the first BML SMART School in Spain! @bfisinternationalschool #educatorsofbmls #ealteacher #ellteachers #bmls #mll #EducatorsEmpowered #TeachingExcellence #ProfessionalGrowth #smartschool

Helping BMLs acquire strong reading skills requires multiple exposures to words. While leveled reading materials are helpful for achieving this through controlled vocabulary, we must also extend children's access to books beyond leveled books. @woodard_julia

Parents of bilingual/multilingual learners may worry about their child's struggles with new vocabulary and self-expression. It's crucial to celebrate incremental progress and provide encouragement. Watch out for signs of being 'over-challenged' to ensure effective learning.

It’s always inspiring to see the real magic that our schools and teachers are making AFTER their BML trainings! Sending a big shout-out to Lila and the teachers at Benjamin Franklin International School, (Spain) for taking their BML Action Plans to the next level!
