Core Instructional Practices

What does effective instruction look like in multimodal language learning settings? Which instructional practices are considered “high-leverage,” meaning they represent a core set that all language teachers need to master? In this fully asynchronous course, you will explore knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with key instructional strategies for language teaching, such as facilitating class discussions, building relationships with students, using effective verbal scaffolding, and implementing organizational routines. Activities include annotated readings, viewings, discussion boards, peer reviews, and video-recorded enactment tasks. By the end of the course, you will be able to perform a range of strategies customized to your target teaching context and will demonstrate your learning in a digital practices showcase that highlights your abilities. Those studying toward the online MA TESOL will need to complete this course in addition to the other seven core courses before enrolling in the two practicum courses.
