Identify and summarize research-based instructional strategies to address listening, speaking, and vocabulary development with ELLs at each of the following proficiency levels: pre-emergent, emergent, basic, low intermediate, and high intermediate.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
