Language Acquisition and Development
SWBAT understand and apply concepts, theories, research and practice to facilitate the acquisition of a primary and a
new language in and out of the classroom settings.
Cultural Groups and identity students will be able to know, understand, and use the knowledge of how cultural groups and
students' cultural identities affect language learning and school achievement.
Issues of Assessment for ESL
SWABT understand various issues of assessment (e.g., cultural and linguistic bias; political, social and psychological
factors) in assessment, IQ, and special education testing (including gifted and talented); the importance of standards; and
the difference between language proficiency and other types of assessment (e.g., standardized achievement tests of overall
mastery), as they affect ESOL student learning.
Language Proficiency Assessment
Students will know and use a variety of standards-based proficiency instruments to inform their instruction and understand
their uses for identification, placement and demonstration of language growth of ESOL students.
