12:00 PM – 1:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Veracruz Exhibit Hall
The Advanced Learning Program is an innovative Spanish-English bilingual program in Paraguay based on Inquiry-Based Learning. This enrichment program uses ability grouping and total English immersion for PreK-12 students with strong potential for languages. Students engage with passion through captivating provocations, high-level questions, and research, culminating in projects with social, cultural, and/or artistic importance. This session shares a model example.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover how an inquiry-based project works in a bilingual setting and its contribution to the second language acquisition process.
  • Understand the benefits of empowering students in their own learning process through the Inquiry-based learning approach.
  • Examine and consider a different approach to teaching and learning through a concrete example and application of different techniques.
