The course considers the teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) for children who speak other languages. It covers the socio–linguistic context of techniques used in various language skills and is based on second language acquisition theory. It particularly considers the multilingual context of most Belizean classrooms, and a further focus is on particular strategies to assist Kriol/Spanish/Garifuna/Maya first language teachers, who themselves have English as a second language, in addressing both cognitive and affective challenges of the bi/tri/multilingual classroom.
