ESOL Endorsement - Online Cohort

Date: September 10 2012 - December 17 2012 Location: Online

ESOL 607-01 Language Acquisition and Development
This course covers theories of how first and second languages (written and spoken) are acquired, the importance of first-language development and its relationship to the acquisition of other languages, and the relationship of language to cognitive development.

Understanding of these issues is used to promote a school environment that honors diverse perspectives and maximizes language learning potential and ensures respect for communities whose languages or varieties of English differ from standard school English.
