Ofelia Schepers

This course identifies the linguistic challenges faced by English language learners (ELLs) in the content areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and the social studies. Participants will learn to describe how language varies in the way it presents knowledge in different content areas. The course links these challenges to English language instruction and subject-matter instruction in English for ELLs who are in general education classrooms. The course emphasizes assessment tools designed to assess content knowledge and links these students' English language development. Participants will describe academic tasks that require advanced levels of reading and writing and the expectations for the development of academic literacy as ELLs move from elementary to secondary "literacy" contexts, or the kinds of meaning-making typical of secondary and postsecondary education.
