MLE 534 - Elementary ELL and Bilingual Methods for P-12 Teachers


This class is an expansion on theoretical and practical concerns in teaching English as an additional language/bilingual education to students in grades P-8 of all proficiency levels. Emphasis is on innovative approaches to the teaching of language and literacy within a communicative framework and academic register. This class provides guidance in the evaluation, development, and use of creative materials, including media-based materials. We will build on the techniques introduced in the Secondary Methods course but shift the emphasis to content and developmentally appropriate for younger students specifically vocabulary, form, function, and fluency of language across domains of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Requires participation in a practicum experience with English language learners. Individual research and course presentation are expected of graduate students.
