The different backgrounds of the teachers provided an opportunity to demonstrate purposeful grouping strategies and model teaching methods that support content area learning even despite lower language proficiency levels.<\/p>\n<p>Participants in this project learned research-based, best practices in content-based instruction through a variety of hands-on, interactive activities.\u00a0They learned how to teach content in English through modeled high-impact strategies that are easily transferable to a variety of settings and require very few resources.<\/p>\n<p>Workshops also included specific discussions on how to adjust activities and goals to meet students\u2019 needs and curriculum expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Johnson modeled how to support a gradual implementation of teaching content in English, and helped participants see that, with proper support, even students at the lowest levels of language proficiency can make gains in content area knowledge, with English as a medium of instruction.<\/p>\n<p>The workshops provided an opportunity for both Dr. Johnson and the participants to learn more about the Taiwanese and American school systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" alt=\"Taiwanese English Language Specialist Project\" title=\"20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-14406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2020\/04\/20191112-National-Kaohsiung-Normal-University_191125_0003.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":14407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1462],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14404"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14404"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14470,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14404\/revisions\/14470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
