The prevalence of English as second language users in America's schools has led to the need for teachers who have a sound knowledge base of research proven theories, techniques, methods, and assessment for teaching literacy to such populations. This course is designed to help in-service teachers develop the skills and practices necessary to be facilitators of language and academic development of K-12 learners whose native tongue is other than English.
