Constructing an ESL Program with E-Learning In Mind
ELL Coordinator and International Student Advisor
Wheaton Academy, West Chicago, IL
During our pre-symposium session, we will focus on the foundational elements needed to construct a solid ESL class/program especially in light of moving to an E-Learning format. Our time together will be spent addressing the specific academic English needs of students and ways to create curriculum that seeks to support learning outcomes both in the classroom and online. The format of the session will be workshop oriented and provide time to evaluate your unique teaching situation and how to apply the principles you learn. Registrants will need to come prepared with some completed pre-session materials that will be provided ahead of time, as well as specific information regarding their teaching context.
