TEYL100 Teaching English to Young Learners

TEYL 100: Teaching English to Young Learners is designed for English-as-a-second-language instructors who are interested in teaching English to children and who seek professional development in the field. Both theoretically and practically, students explore the needs and challenges of children in a language-learning classroom. Effective classroom organization, materials and strategies for creating a supportive, interactive and learner-centered classroom are explored. Through readings and practical tasks, students have the opportunity to practice and gain insight into how effective teaching and learning can be enhanced in the young learners' second-language classroom.
