I have now officially completed my first ESL graduate class. It has truly been a wonderful learning experience for me. We learned so much about language acquisition and the challenges faced by ELLs. I look forward to being able to apply the various strategies (outlined in my wiki www.elizabethnix.wikispaces.com) learned in YOED 6020 in my classroom this year. This is only the tip of the iceberg, and I am excited to learn more about teaching English as a second language in future classes.
