On Tuesday, April 10 at 3pm, CUNY-New York State Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals will be hosting a tweet chat with NLERAP- NE. The tweet chat will explore dynamic bilingualism as conceptualized by Ofelia Garcia, co-principal investigator of NYSIEB. You can see a recent presentation by Ofelia Garcia by following the link below.

We will also discuss the way bilingualism has been discussed in the media by taking the recent New York Times op-ed “The Benefits of Bilingualism” as a point of departure.
