This is a graduate TESL course designed specifically for students wishing to work with K-12 English Language Learners. Based in a Christian worldview perspective, the focus is on historical and contemporary understandings of language, principles, techniques, and methods for diverse K-12 populations, with particular attention to understanding and facilitating learners’ capacity to effectively appropriate the language of schooling. Specific attention is given to the intersectional and interdisciplinary nature of teaching English Language learners with concepts and frameworks from associated disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology, indigenous studies, psychology, and performance disciplines, including art, music and human kinetics.
