Learn to Teach English as a Second Language - Class Descriptions
ESL Materials Selection & Development
This course is designed to give teachers awareness of the kinds of criteria used in designing classroom materials for the teaching of English Language Learners at all levels of proficiency. Materials will be considered in terms of the specific problems they address, the objectives they accomplish, the activities engendered and the use of materials as evaluative tools. Participants will learn about new materials and explore the variability of lessons as they develop their own materials. Also featured are guest demonstrations and opportunities for class participants to share useful activities and ideas. This course is part of the TESL Certificate and ELL endorsement program and is required for the certificate and/or endorsement.
