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; and

3)

develop teaching skills to integrate ESL students into the regular

elementary classroom.

COURSE EVALUATION

Course evaluation will be decided upon after the class has had its first

meeting, but will consist of a combination of in-class work and

homework/project assignments.
