TESOL 565 Teaching English to the Young Learner

TESOL 565 introduces the pedagogical theories of childhood language learning between the approximate ages of 4-10. Major theories in teaching language are introduced through application in a variety of settings. Lesson development focuses on age-appropriateness when teaching the four language skills, vocabulary, and grammar. By the end of the course, candidates are able to identify and utilize age-appropriate materials and activities for young learners as they create a comprehensive, contextualized unit plan which includes one language function, one grammar point, and a demonstration of a lesson from this unit plan.
