COURSE OBJECTIVES
Increasingly, the face of Canadian schools is changing as students from a
variety of cultures and language backgrounds enter our classrooms.
Designed for the non-specialist, this course will help the classroom teacher:
1)
understand basic second language learning theory, and the
philosophy of integration
2)
understand the background knowledge necessary in working
with ESL children and their parents
3)
develop teaching skills to integrate ESL students into the
regular elementary classroom.
COURSE EVALUATION
Course evaluation will be finalized after the class has had its first meeting,
but will consist of a combination of in-class work and homework/project
assignments.
