Pedagogical Methods of Teaching Literacy To English Learners

Catalog description

This course examines the adaptation and implementation of specific literacy methods of teaching listening, speaking, reading, and writing to English language learners (PreK-12). The core foundation of this course is a comprehensive integration of practices, principles, and research-based instructional strategies for helping English language learners develop literacy skills in English and across the curriculum (mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, and other appropriate content areas). Teachers will learn how to plan, manage, assess, and implement classroom instruction for English language learners in a sheltered and inclusive classroom setting. Teacher candidates are required to complete a 30-hour field placement in an elementary or secondary school to learn alongside an experienced English as a New Language (ENL) teacher.
