This blog is set up as an example for students enrolled in YOED 6020 / Reading, Writing, and Learning Methods in ESL. This class focuses on literacy, methods, and strategies for developing literacy in second language learners.
This is the last semester that the class is being offered under the "old name." Beginning Fall 2011, the ESL Add-On and M.Ed. program will offer revised classes to meet the new Tennessee Department of Education Professional Standards for ESL. The content of the class (Summer 2011) has been revised, so, in essence we will be covering material that complies with standards and which will be in the new version of the course, YOED 6020 / Literacy Instruction for ELLs!
To begin our session, here is a great video showing how one ESL / Bilingual teacher encouraged writing development. Be sure to check back for more!
