TESL 122. LING LANG STRUC TEACH ML LEARN. (3 Credits)
This course is designed to develop both the linguistic and pedagogical knowledge that are considered essential for teachers of the English language to multilingual students. Students will gain a conscious, in-depth understanding of the workings of developmental sequences of second language acquisition, English phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, grammar, pragmatics, and discourse in order to assess their students' language development in an additional language, predict and respond to their needs, provide explanations about how English works, and plan for instruction that helps students advance in their English proficiency. Students will also learn about how language is a sociocultural construct and how it changes over time. This course aims to build this knowledge from a content-based learning and systemic functional linguistics (SFL) perspective, and students will apply linguistics and grammar knowledge in the context of content and disciplinary language and skills. Students will also analyze samples of language, identifying linguistic features and model appropriate error correction.

TESL 125. LIT TEACH MULTILINGUAL LEARN. (3 Credits)
With the expanding population of multilingual students who are classified as English Learners in public schools, there is an urgent need for literacy instruction that meets the diverse needs of multilingual learners. This course, in part, fulfills requirements for Drake University’s K-12 ESL endorsement. This course is grounded in second-language literacy and content-based instruction and will focus on a range of best practice and culturally-responsive approaches that foster literacy development in English and promote maintenance in students’ home and community languages. Topics that will be explored include: literacy development across first and second (additional) language acquisition, biliteracy development and translanguaging, technology and multiliteracies, vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, the needs of special populations, writing instruction, and literacy assessment.

TESL 126. METH PLAN INSTR FOR ML LEARNER. (3 Credits)
This course is designed to develop both pedagogical knowledge for planning and differentiating instruction for multilingual learners. Per state requirements, this course includes a 10-hr practicum with an age group opposite your licensure (i.e., secondary if elementary). This course directly draws on and expands knowledge from previous courses and is based in content-based language instruction. Students will apply strategies that facilitate development of effective listening and oral communication skills, adjust teaching and develop strategies for trauma-informed instruction, and linguistically differentiate instruction and assessment according to data analysis and backward design principles. Additionally, students will expand their knowledge base in being an effective English language teaching colleague and resource by describing effective approaches to working with colleagues who support MLLs (e.g., paraeducators, translators, interpreters, cultural liaisons, describing effective approaches to co-teaching, and refining skills for advocating for multilingual learners (MLLs).

TESL 216. METHODS OF LINGUISTICS FOR DIFFERENT ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. (3 Credits)
ELS Methods is a required course for the ESL endorsement at Drake University. The course addresses topics essential to the knowledge base of expert ESL teachers. These include the history of language teaching; factors that impact ELs' learning; effective work with paraeducators; standards-based language teaching, assessment, and grading, differentiated according to student English language proficiency level; strategies for teaching students who have experienced trauma; and advocacy on behalf of ELLs. This course includes a practicum in the form of application of strategies. For pre-service teachers, ten practicum hours opposite teacher candidate's certification level (elementary teachers work at the secondary level, secondary teachers work at the elementary level). Practicum experiences will be set up by the Drake School of Education Practicum Coordinator. For in-service teachers, the practicum requires that students work with language learners at the grade level opposite their teacher licensure. The practicum will include opportunities for in-service teachres to engage in such activities as observing high-quality ESL teaching; collaborating with ESOL and content teachers, as well as others in the service of ELs; and trying out differentiation strategies with ELs.
