Second Language Teach/Learn

This course will provide training to teachers who have multilingual learners in their classrooms. Participants will explore theories and models of second language acquisition (SLA) in English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) instructional contexts. They will learn about the emotional, social and intellectual implications of the process of learning a second language while maintaining the first. Participants will analyze foundations for language pedagogy, contexts of second language teaching and learning and strategies for teaching ESL/EFL skills. Fieldwork may be required.
