Bilingual Glossary
-
Welcome to our Bilingual Glossary Page
Bilingual glossaries are essential in a classroom where students are asked to apply their previous schema and experiences to the new content we expect them to master. To facilitate this process it is vital that we provide materials that help them transition from their language of origin (L1) to the language they are trying to acquire (L2). Although these glossaries should be incorporated into their daily classes it should be pointed out that in New York State many students will be able to utilize these glossaries during their Regents exams. As a result, exposure prior to the exam is essential.
