Please view A Language Immersion Story (12-minute video) before watching the recording of the webinar.
Video Description: Moises, a fictional young Spanish-speaking immigrant, faces conflicts in his English-immersion school. He understands math concepts well, but his limited English means he does not have the vocabulary to understand the language of story problems. He struggles, along with his math teacher, to prepare for two weeks of standardized math testing.
