EDLI 4500 - Methods for Teaching English Language Arts II (3)

This course, designed to be taken during the second semester of the junior year, builds on Methods for teaching English Language Arts I. Emphasis in this course is on vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, disciplinary literacy as well as assessment. This course begins with a review of general methodology in reading and writing and moves into planning integrated ELA Units, and assessment. Assessments include formative and summative and assessments of student learning as well as literacy-specific assessments such as Informal Reading Inventories, running record, cloze procedure, miscue analysis and connects findings with a variety of instructional strategies and techniques for children and adolescents who struggle with various aspects of becoming literate. Strategies and intervention techniques are tied to both assessment and state standards. EDLI 4500 is designed to integrate reading, writing, and technology with content material e.g., social studies, humanities, math, and science.
