needs of students of English as a second language within the regular classroom language arts
program. Designed for non-specialists, this course will acquaint participants with basic theory
about second language learning and will provide many practical ideas about how curriculum
activities and events may be best adapted for students of ESL.
Some topics to be covered are:
assessing students' language development
supporting students' first language development
multi-ability grouping
whole language and ESL
collaborating with the specialist ESL teachers
