EDUC 360 Methods for Teaching English as a Second Language

This course focuses on approaches, methods, and materials for teaching English as an additional language to English Language Learners (ELLs). Additionally, application of such skills will be applied to content-area learning. Class sessions will focus on theory and practice related to the important components of language learning from a developmental perspective. In addition, students will analyze second language unit and lesson plans, develop instructional units, engage in short in-class demonstration lessons that illustrate state-of-the-art second-language teaching techniques, and participate in required field experiences in classrooms in which there are ELLs. Special attention will be given to culturally relevant pedagogy.
