Teaching for Learning Transfer and Long-term Literacy Development in English Education

 This interactive workshop will introduce participants to learning transfer, or the ability of students to use and adapt prior learning in new contexts beyond English classrooms. Targeted at English classrooms, participants will explore how to encourage students to draw upon prior knowledge , how to use reflective and metacognitive practices to “abstract” knowledge to new situations, and how to encourage the development of lifelong literacy practices. Participants will leave the workshop with practical skills, activities, and materials for use in their classrooms.
