ERL 541 - Methods of Teaching English in the Secondary School In this teaching methods course, students will learn, practice, and reflect on the specific pedagogical knowledge needed to teach English/Language Arts to students in grades 7-12. We explore a variety of teaching strategies for organizing a secondary English/Language Arts curriculum, utilizing the national standards of the Common Core. Students discuss, plan, implement, and assess appropriate instruction using current best practices for the effective teaching of English/Language Arts. This course addresses various curricular areas of English/Language Arts, including the teaching of writing, reading comprehension and literature, language applications, grammar, speaking applications and visual media, and how these can be effectively integrated into daily lesson planning while meeting Common Core Standards. Additionally, students will learn how to be reflective practitioners who regularly engage in classroom action research to improve their reaching. All students enrolled in ERL 541 will be required to participate in a field placement in an English/Language Arts Classroom in a local school district.
