TESOL in PK-12: Culture, Policy, & Second Language Acquisition

Catalog description

TCE 612 problematizes and operationalizes PK-12 public policies governing the education of English learners (ELs) and the ways school districts do and can meet these obligations. The course also acquaints teachers with cultural issues and second language acquisition theories and models that will help them work successfully with their ELs. Assignments enable in-service teachers to synthesize knowledge of the dynamic academic, personal, familial, cultural, social, and sociocultural contexts on the education and language acquisition of ELs as supported by research and theories.
