**YOED 6020 Project Requirements **



 **Final Course Project / YOED 6020 Guidelines **

As partial requirement for SPSE 6820, students will design a **Methods and Strategies for ESL Instruction Wiki** to assist colleagues, parents, regular education teachers, administrators, and support staff regarding:


 * Assisting newcomer second language learners in getting acquainted with the school community and classroom.


 * Building an awareness of emergent literacy in second language learners.


 * Strategies, methods, and materials appropriate for reading and literacy instruction.


 * Methods and materials appropriate for content area instruction that involves language learning strategies.

 The Wiki should be designed in a manner so that it may be easily integrated into staff development workshops, sessions, or home use. Use this page and the examples provided (see left-hand menu and upper menu bar) to assist you in designing your Wiki.

 Please begin setting up your Wiki at the beginning of the session/semester so that you may add as the session/semester progresses. Please check the course Calendar for specific due date.



**Students who Completed SPSE 6800 and/or SPSE 6820: **  ** If you already completed SPSE 6800, your Language Wiki is designed and in use. Just add the pages that follow for the Methods and Strategies component. **

 **All Students Enrolled in SPSE 6820 should include the pages below. ** You may begin design and add to the pages as you complete each of the assignments.

The following components must be included in your Wiki:
