Identify and apply the principles and procedures of different L2 methods in lesson plans and learning activities. Upon completing the course students will be able to:ĭefine the basic principles of ELD/SDAIE methods and describe their implementation in CLAD classroom contexts. Course content, activities and assignments include the four domains of the RICA exam and the relationship of CLAD topics to literacy development and reading instruction will be made explicit throughout the course.

The course content will be learned through the kinds of experiential, participatory and process-oriented strategies that are used in successful bilingual/English language development classrooms and that build reflective practices and shared decision-making in B/CLAD programs. Students will master instructional strategies and design lessons compatible with these principles. We will examine the psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic principles upon which modern methods of second language (L2) teaching are based. We will explore the historical development of L2 teaching theory and methods in the United States. Students are equipped for effective CLAD instruction through the use of methods of English language development and specially designed academic instruction in English. This course is designed to equip Bilingual/Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development (B/CLAD) teacher candidates with the knowledge and skills to effectively organize and implement instruction for limited English proficient students in bilingual and English language development programs.
