This presentation addresses several dual language essentials for classroom organization, lesson delivery and curriculum planning. It shows how teachers create opportunities for literacy/content integration through interdisciplinary units of inquiry. In addition, examples of how teachers can set up and use their classroom as a tool for learning are discussed. Translanguaging strategies for the development of both language and content such as Preview/View/Review and bridging are exemplified through authentic examples from one-way and two-way classrooms.
