The needs of ELLs are considered from the vantage point of second language acquisition theory and practice. Teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate comprehension of the problems faced by ELLs in classroom settings and to implement methods of assisting these students to maximize their learning potential. The course will assist participants in developing a necessary frame of reference for the education of ELLs. This course will provide an overview of the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching speakers of other languages of all age groups and language proficiency levels. Instructional design, evaluation, and classroom management strategies tailored to the needs of ELLs will be considered. Focus will also be placed on lesson planning and materials development to meet the needs of ELLs and youth in sheltered content instruction.
