The course will examine language acquisition and how it impacts the academic achievement of students learning English as a new language. Participants will explore research-based practices that develop the four domains of language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. They will have the opportunity to experience interactive strategies and practices of engaging with multimedia text that can be used to support literacy across the content areas for English language learners (ELLs).

This course provides 45 CTLE hours in language acquisition for ELLs. It can also be used to fulfill 3 A+/P credits towards the +30 salary differential. The cost is $300 for 45 hours of CTLE credit or $500 for three graduate credit recommendations AND 45 hours of CTLE credit.
