TESL 507 - Research for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Matriculation in the TESOL, MAT; and consent of graduate program coordinator after completion of four or more courses in either the MAT in TESOL licensure or non-licensure program
This course describes fundamental concepts and practices for educational research and specifically for teaching English to speakers of other languages by covering specific applications of research methods to problems in TESOL education. Emphasis is placed on review and critique of TESOL research, including methods for the study of linguistics and second language acquisition, (e.g., corpus analysis, discourse analysis, contrastive analysis, elicitation procedure); applications for working with sheltered English immersion teachers, administrators, and content leaders; and methods for the assessment and instruction of English learners.
