This course will provide the student an opportunity to learn about second language acquisition theory and methodology and practice, with particular focus on the philosophy, design, goals, and characteristics of school based organizational structures designed. To meet the needs of English learners/ multilingual learners in California schools. A major focus of this course is the development of understanding and practice through in-person and virtual fieldwork with English learners. Prerequisites/ Co-enrollment: EDUC501, 502, or 503.
