Bilingual Approach Seminar: Levels 1 & 2

Critical pedagogy, as defined by Wink (2000), is a process whereby professionals “name” their beliefs, “reflect” critically upon them, and then take “action.” Professionals will “act” to implement effective practices of American Sign Language (ASL) and English bilingual instruction that will enhance the achievement of students in all academic classes.

The bilingual pedagogy involves two levels of the Bilingual Approach Seminar (BAS) as follows:

• Level 1: Introduction to ASL and English Bilingualism
• Level 2: Application of ASL and English Bilingualism in a classroom
