TSL 620 - Language and Literacy Development for English Language Learners This
course examines the interdependent
development of language and
literacy skills by
students from other language
backgrounds who are
acquiring English. The connections between and
among reading, writing,
listening and speaking in
first and additional languages
are explored. A
review of the structure of the
English language
leads to a discussion of the
role of grammar and
other direct language
instruction in language
teaching/learning, while a
comparison of literacy
in first and additional
languages encourages the
use of teaching practices,
strategies, and
resources which promote
literacy development for
all students. Print, technology, and other
materials appropriate for use
with linguistically
and culturally diverse
students assist in
developing integrated
approaches to content area
literacy and language
development for both
communicative and academic
purposes. Contexts,
purposes, and practices for
literacy development
in a second or additional
language will be
observed, discussed,
evaluated, and shared. 10
hours fieldwork required.
