CURRICULUM AND MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT FOR ENGLISH

This course focuses on the application of principles and practices for teaching English Language Learners in the context of the curriculum, the program and the school community. Students select and design resources for an instructional unit that integrates English language skills with academic content learning. We investigate strategies and tools for placing and monitoring students, working with ESL students with special needs, and collaborating with school staff and parents, in order to further the language, cognitive, and social development of ELLs.
