Conference 2009 Keynote
Where Language Flourishes
|
|
Keynote Speaker: John DeMado
John DeMado has been an energetic force in the field of Language Acquisition for several years. He is founder and president of John DeMado Language Seminars, Inc, an educational consulting firm devoted exclusively to language acquisition and literacy issues. John, who speaks a variety of languages, has authored several textbook programs and produced a series of music CD/DVDs designed to help students acquire other languages. He is recognized nationally, as well as internationally, for his insightfulness and humor-filled delivery style.
Closing the academic achievement gap between English learners and mainstream students is a top priority for all school districts, no matter how large or small their ELL population. John will speak about the development of oral language as the foundation of literacy. He will address how sociological, technological, and educational influences impede oral language development and the combined impact of these influences on vocabulary acquisition. As a result, educators must encourage and foster not only explicit instruction in academic language, but also indirect instruction through enhanced opportunity oral discourse.
