EDUC 0363 - Sheltered English Immersion


Credits: 3

This course will provide pre-service teachers with the knowledge, skills and dispositions essential to effectively shelter their content instruction to ensure that the prospective English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms will successfully access curriculum and achieve academic success.  This course will also help future teachers understand the social and cultural issues that contribute to the schooling of ELLS, expand their knowledge of how language functions within academic content teaching and learning, and how children and adolescents acquire a second language.  This course will provide candidates with research-based protocols, methods and strategies to integrate subject area content with language and literacy development.  The course will take into account the MA English Language Development (ELD) World Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) standards in order to support ELL students’ success with all Massachusetts curriculum standards for PreK-12 learners.
