This course introduces theories, methods, and practical strategies for teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL) in diverse instructional contexts. Emphasizing the needs of multilingual learners, the course explores language acquisition processes, instructional approaches, and program models with a focus on integrating language and content, particularly in higher education settings. Students will examine the teaching of core language components—grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking—through inclusive, culturally responsive, and evidence-based practices. Through readings, discussions, and applied activities, students will develop their own teaching philosophy and instructional approach tailored to linguistically and culturally diverse learners.
