EDUC 555 Teaching the English Language Learner Online
Provides educators with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, insights, and resources to service English language learners (ELL) in their journey to becoming linguistically proficient while acquiring academic content to compete with native speakers in a consistently competitive global and information-driven society.
Accessing information is vital for all learners. Therefore, teachers must be prepared to help second-language learners in the classroom become self-directed so they can confidently use English in listening, speaking, reading, and writing for social and academic purposes. Participants will become acquainted with the English language learner as well as the most popular theories and best practices as a result of a strong body of research in the field that guides second-language instruction.
