Content Reading and Writing in English Language Learning

In this module, we will review purposeful and meaningful activities that scaffold English learners' content reading and writing.

We will also explore the characteristics of narrative and expository text strustures as useful genres for ELL students to know and use.

Finally, we will examine classroom contexts and teaching strategies for ELL students and discuss how to facilitate reading development by preparing students to monitor their own comprehension while reading.

At the completion of this module, you will be able to:

• design and deliver appropriate instruction for standards-based English language teaching that addresses language and content learning for second language learners and an effective learning environment
• access a variety of valuable resources and tools for instructional support, materials design and overall creation and maintenance for a nurturing, effective classroom
