TSL515 - ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTENT CLASSROOM

College of Arts and Sciences

Credits: 3

This course is designed to engage class participants in the study of learning and teaching of ESL students in the PreK-12 content classroom. The course is structured around two foundational knowledge bases for the field of ESL teaching: 1) the role of language and culture in school curriculum and classroom learning; 2) the challenges that content classes -math, science, and humanities- pose for English learners. The goal of the course is to prepare content teachers to effectively teach English learners both language and subject matter.
