Multilingual Research Center Symposium
The MLRC Research Symposia are unique two-day workshops for international educators to engage deeply in existing research about multilingual learners, connect with global education scholars, inquire together about shared problems of practice, and discuss innovative strategies for serving multilingual learners. Educators will create an Action Research plan during their time at the symposium. These workshops are followed by continued Action Research support, culminating in a capstone report.
Goal:
School-based teams will identify a problem of practice, draw on relevant research to consider strengths and goals for improvement, and design an action research plan.
Objectives:
Connect research on teaching multilingual learners to your classroom and school
Learn together with other researchers and practitioners to improve outcomes for multilingual learners
Build capacity for school-based inquiry through action research
The Multilingual Learning Research Center (MLRC) is housed within the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER) at the School of Education, University of Wisconsin—Madison. Our mission is to advance educational outcomes for multilingual learners through innovative and socially just research and research–practice partnerships. We do this through four approaches:
- Interdisciplinary, impactful, innovative education research
- Inquiry related to the teaching and learning of multilingual learners
