TESL 501 - Second Language Teaching and Learning

(3 credits)
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.
