EDC 670 Enhancing English Language Learning in Elementary Schools

This course will prepare elementary teachers and educators who have limited English-proficient students to use strategies that develop English language learners (ELL) in social and academic English. Participants will learn to adapt instruction and materials to help English learners understand academic content, develop academic and social language, and participate in classroom activities. Participants will learn to facilitate ELL's adjustment to a new culture and help all students develop an appreciation for diversity. Teachers will continue to learn from colleagues, students, and families, to continue to meet English language learners' needs.
