Bilingual And ESL Students
Keep in mind that responses should be written in one’s own words and be approximately one-paragraph long. The response should extend, discuss or build on the course readings and citations should be used to indicate information that comes from the text. Responses should also be free of errors to ensure that other students can understand the response. Please make sure to review your responses to ensure that your response is thoughtful and free of any language that could be offensive to others. Very brief entries that only state “I agree” or “I disagree” without any further explanation will not be sufficient and will not receive credit. Responses that only draw on personal experience and are not connected to the course readings will only receive partial credit.
Discussion Board #1 prompt:
For this module, we have learned different types of English learner program models. For this discussion board please answer the following question:
How would you characterize the types of instruction offered to English learners in your school or in schools you know: traditional ESL, content-based ESL, sheltered content, bilingual content, traditional content, dual language, or others? Provide evidence of your characterization in terms of curricula and instruction. Are the English learners successful when they exit English language support programs and are placed in regular classrooms without support? Explain.
(Please notice, if you do not have any teaching experience, you may relate it to your learning experience or from other articles)
