Beginning of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)

My subject area will be focusing on teaching literacy to English learners in small groups.

5 possible content and pedagogical content knowledge guiding questions:
1. What are the best teaching strategies for English learners in small groups?

2.  What are the advantages/disadvantages for teaching English learners in small groups?

3.  What are the latest techniques and tools (including technology) for teaching English learners how to read in small groups?

4.  What techniques (including technological tools) are available for teaching spelling in small groups to English learners?  Are they effective and based off research?

5.  What is known about how English learners learn to write? What does research show about the best ways to teach writing in small groups?

  1. Heather,

    You didn't post any resources on Wiki. Did you know that 4 to 6 annotated sources were to be posted as of last Friday? The purpose of research is to help you fine tune your guiding questions. Let me know if you're confused about course requirements. Thanks, Molly
