About this session

This workshop will explore 3 themes for supporting success with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) students across the curriculum:

  1. Understanding of and working toward improving English language proficiency (ELP), intercultural competency, and effective communication
  2. Assessing student communication outcomes and guiding ongoing development and maturation of communication capabilities
  3. Connecting students to support and building self-motivated learning.

Participants will have the opportunity to briefly explore underlying scholarship and research to inform good practice in supporting CALD students and will explore how this scholarship can be applied in their teaching and learning contexts.
