EDPN 673 Methods and Materials for Teaching English as a Second Language

This course provides a historical overview of second language acquisition theories and teaching methods. Students learn how to apply current approaches, methods and techniques, with attention to the effective use of materials, in teaching English as a second language. Students will engage in the planning and implementation of standards-based ESL instruction which includes differentiated learning experiences geared to students’ needs. Emphasis is placed on creating culturally responsive learning environments. Includes 15 hours of field work.

Teacher candidates (TCs) will plan, record on video teaching a brief mini- lesson to a specific ENL audience in a specifically designed approach to language learning found in the Richards and Rodgers text, i.e. Communicative Language Learning, Total Physical Response etc. Candidates will first introduce their assigned method including the general approach, syllabus and other aspects, they will then demonstrate their mini lesson they planned online through PPT, video and upload all the artifacts plus a paper submission.

She is currently certified in Early Childhood Education, Childhood Education and Students with Disabilities (Birth- Grade 2 & Grades 1-6). She is currently enrolled in a program at Touro for her Masters in TESOL. She will be entering her third year as a substitute elementary teacher for Longwood School District in September 2022. Vicky has spent her entire adult life working with children and possesses a passion regarding teaching our future generations.

The words being introduced in this lesson relate to the children’s every day in two parts. One is social conversations with peers, pertaining to the weather for example. The other is that in the preceding science units several of these terms will come up with regularity and building the ELLs knowledge of these words enhances their ability to comprehend the language and the content in the classroom.
