Description
English language learners (ELL) students are common on USU campus, and the university offers various resources to facilitate their academic success. However, the lack of awareness of these resources, both on the faculty and the student part, can undermine their value. This session discusses how these resources can be used to promote ELLs’ success at the university. The first presenter shares an example of how these resources can be implemented in course projects and activities. The second presenter describes resources that support graduate-level ELLs, particularly in terms of their adaptation to U.S. classrooms both as students and teaching assistants.
