Course Presentations
Project Description:
You will be responsible for researching, outlining, and presenting to the class on a topic of historical or present day significance that further develops your learning and teaching of English Language Learners in the American school system. The presentation must summarize/outline a piece of research, highlight your learning in the field and application to teaching, and provide insights and eye-opening moments to classmates. Project Description:
Strategy learning is an accumulation process. Students will be expected to give a presentation about how they manage and retain all the strategies learned in the semester. Since learning preferences are different for everyone, this assignment will be done as a piece “showcasing student’s creativity.” The purpose of this activity is to help everyone rethink, reflect, and retain the strategies that we acquired. Project Description:
Students will educate colleagues on the need and benefit of supporting ELL/Bilingual education in your school/district? Project Description:
Everyone will present his/her understanding of SLA from the three perspectives, especially, what surprises you in the process or what gives you insights. Based on these, please indicate to the class a) What changes you will incorporate into your learning/teaching of the person you studied? B) How your new learning affects your thinking about future ESL/Bilingual teaching? Include a narrative arch of how you came to this understanding of SLA. Use lots of visuals to tell the story. |
Project Description:
Provoked by current issues (a problem to solve or the big question for this class) in education as well as the course content, school and culture in the 21st century, the class will research and study and apply the cycle of inquiry to determine next steps resulting in a paper or presentation at the end of the course. The presentation should be related to the ideas read about or developed through consideration of issues discussed in class. Project Description:
The action-research project will focus on a current question developed by the student that centers on assessment of ELL or Bilingual students. As part of the project, each researcher will create an ELL assessment that tests the question, using the guidelines from our texts for appropriate design, items, delivery, and scoring best suited for ELL students. Project Description:
Students will educate colleagues on the need and benefit of supporting ELL/Bilingual education in your school/district? Create an engaging advocacy resource that outlines the history of ELLs in your school/district and the legalities of providing services. (i.e. Infographic) Project Description:
Create an interactive document with a year-long, literacy-driven mindset. The idea is for you to think about literacy and diverse learners as an overarching thread in your pedagogy. |
