    COURSE OBJECTS:
    Increasingly, Canadian classrooms enroll students from a variety of language backgrounds.
    Participants in this course will investigate how elementary school teachers are able to meet the
    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
