Module 1 - The B.C. Context
I greatly enjoyed this module, as it was the background information on ELLs that I was lacking. I found the "English Language Learning Policy Guidelines", "English Language Learners: A Guide for ESL Specialists", and "Province of British Columbia English Language Learning (ELL) Standards" documents to be most helpful. So what do I think classroom teachers may want or need to know from each of these documents? Here we go!
