About MeMy name is Viet-Ly Nguyen and I've been teaching at Westlake Middle School in Oakland, CA for the past eight years. This fall I will be transitioning to the role of a Teacher Specialist in the English Language Learner and Multilingual Achievement Office in the Oakland Unified School District. I hope to support teachers in their work with Newcomer and English Language Learner students.
Being a participant in the NEH's summer seminar was a profound experience. It was a chance for me to develop a more complex lens at which to look at texts and interpret what happens around me. |

I've worked extensively in the classroom to build students' academic discussion skills. Here are two videos to demonstrate some of the strategies I have used.
