In this course, participants will become acquainted with characteristics of English Language Learners (ELLs), second language acquisition, and the SIOP instructional model for use with ELLs in content classes. Course experiences will address developmentally and linguistically appropriate strategies and materials to effectively engage ELL students within the context of mainstream classroom instruction. Special attention will be given to students’ bilingual/ bicultural characteristics as important aspects of developing successful curriculum and instruction.
