Welcome to English 4410/6410! In this course you will be exploring the field called Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

UPCOMING HOMEWORK: Read Chapter 11 and email me the discussion questions at the end of the chapter--this time there are no additional "Check your Understanding" questions for this chapter. (You may have noticed on Canvas that I'm skipping the other chapters which are related to another class we teach on ESL assessment). Remember on the last day of the course, Dec. 6, you will present your course project to the entire class. I'm reserving the seminar room, EH 221, with a big oval shaped table we can all sit around informally to hear about your projects. There is also a computer and projection-screen if needed when giving your presentation. Next week, Nov. 29, I'm not holding class. Use the time to finish up the Chapter 11 questions and the final draft of your course project. Tonight, Nov. 22, Mustafa is giving a presentation. We will also complete a self-assessment final exam during tonight's class about our course SIOP Model: Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (Lesson Planning).


UPCOMING EVENTS: For Tuesday, Nov. 1, read Chapter 7 and email me your answers for the ending "Check Your Understanding" and Discussion Questions. I'm not holding class on Election Day, Nov. 8. For Nov. 15, bring the second draft of your course project to show to the class (email me a description of the second draft of your project). Also by Nov. 15, read Chapter 8 and email me your answers for the ending understanding check and discussion questions.


HOMEWORK ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR OCT 25th CLASS: 1) Read Chapter 6 and email me your answers for the ending "Check Your Understanding" and Discussion Questions. 2) Work on your semester project. 3) Prepare your mini-presentation if it's your turn (see the sidebar page).
