Robust Learning Opportunities for English Learners: Even MORE Important Now
This recorded session is the fifth in a series of online conversations, Perspectives on English Language Learning, that highlights scholarly perspectives on the education of students who are English learners across a wide variety of settings.

Dr. Bunch received a Midcareer Award from AERA and a Spencer Midcareer Grant for 2017–2018. His most recent book is Amplifying the Curriculum: Designing Quality Learning Opportunities for English Learners, co-edited with Aída Walqui.
