“Bridging Opportunity Gaps”
Betsy Gilliland
Department of Second Language Studies, University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa


Adolescent multilingual writers in the United States face numerous challenges as they navigate academic trajectories. Quite often, learners who place into high school ESL (English as a second language) classes miss out on opportunities to learn academic literacy skills necessary for success in mainstream high school classes. Similarly, many high school English langauge arts programs fail to teach multilingual students the additional academic literacy practices they need to succeed in high education. In this talk, I review recent research (my own and that of other scholars) on academic literacy learning in US high school and community college contexts and recommend research-based best practices for supporting multilingual learners to bridge these opportunity gaps they may have experienced during secondary school or between high school and college. I look forward to hearing participants’ experiences with this topic and discussing further directions for research and pedagogy.

Betsy Gilliland (PhD, University of California Davis) is an associate professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in second language writing pedagogy, language teacher education, and teacher research. In alternate years, she leads a graduate-level teaching practicum in northeastern Thailand. She was a Fulbright Scholar at Universidad de Atacama in Copiapó, Chile, in 2018 and a Peace Corps Volunteer at Buxoro Davlat Universiteti in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, 1998-2000. She currently co-edits the open access Journal of Response to Writing.
