Foundations of ESL and Bilingual Education (NLU CIL500)
Focuses on: the political, social and educational issues that contributed to the formulation of local, state, and federal policy regarding appropriate public school services for language minority populations; specific instructional models and their theoretical and empirical bases; current research on program effectiveness and pupil achievement.
“These courses are tailored to the needs of students (teachers) that need to complete the credit in a timely manner while being able to balance the work-home life as well.
I would recommend these courses to a colleague because they provide practical strategies that can be directly applied in the classroom, supporting both student learning and professional growth. The learning experience is engaging and directly applicable to supporting the diverse needs of students in the classroom.”
