Online Courses
ELL-U’s online courses are self-paced, interactive, and tailored to meet the needs of educators working with ELLs. All courses have clear and explicit learning objectives and utilize various instructional methods, assessments, activities, and faculty support to ensure that students meet those objectives. Courses are divided into multiple segments allowing for practice and reflection to take place in between each session.
Online courses available this semester include:
The purpose of this online course is to offer course participants introductory, research-based information about teaching adult English language learners (ELLs) who are just beginning to acquire print literacy largely due to lack of access to formal schooling. This course will clarify how and why this particular ELL population is unique, offer processes for identifying emergent readers, and explore a range of teaching/assessment strategies that build initial literacy in adult ELLs. Finally, course participants will have the opportunity to consider how the information presented in the course applies to classroom language learning practices in a range of settings.
