English learners are expected to gain content knowledge and skills in math, science and social studies, while improving their English proficiency at the same time. In order for these students to be successful, teachers must implement strategies that support both linguistic and academic development. Assignments in this course assist teachers in planning and implementing content-based lessons in kindergarten through grade six classrooms. Strategies for developing ELs’ academic vocabulary and language skills, applying academic content knowledge and promoting higher-order thinking skills are introduced and practiced. Field experience is necessary to complete course assignments.
