Instructor: Jeremy Ortloff Contact Information: jortloff@indiana.edu Course Description This course explores various approaches to instruction and assessment in education in general and ESL/EFL instruction in particular. We will discuss current thinking in the field as it relates to the instruction of English language learning and instruction. Some of the instructional models include: Sheltered Instruction, content-based instruction and problem-based instruction. Assessment models, on the other hand, will include alternative and authentic forms of assessment. This course is designed for language and content-area teachers at all levels and other professionals interested in addressing the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) from diverse backgrounds. In addition, individuals interested in certification in ENL and/or updating their professional teaching license in the area of language teaching would also find this course useful.
