Teaching Writing With English Language Learners

Teaching Writing With English Language Learners
(30 hours)

English Language Learners bring a rich diversity to today’s classroom. Arriving from around the globe, they possess a wide-range of literacy skills in their first language, varying levels of English language proficiency, and cultural differences. Certain structures, including reading and writing workshop, differentiated instruction and sheltered instruction, enable teachers to individualize and address students’ learning needs. Teachers will explore language development and its implications for teaching and learning in order to identify particular supports for ELL students. ELL students are expected to follow the standard curriculum as they navigate the American culture and language. Writing-to-Learn and personal writing are key steps for ELL students as they bridge the gap into another language and culture.
