For those of you do not have access to an ESOL child – you are given the option to watch videos. The researcher who carried out this case study has provided these videos. So you have a description of the child, pre-assessment, visits with the ESOL children and post-assessment. Look through the modules and attach all scanned work with your description or in the appendix. For the pre-assessment and post-assessment use the rubric/matrix to indicate their levels. The parent interview and the teacher interview are not provided, but for the purpose of having these multiple sources – an interview with another teacher and an adult ELL learner is provided. You can also interview any teacher or adult ELL that you know.
Regardless of whether you are doing the case study with an actual ESOL learner or doing the virtual option – you are supposed to describe the activity and analyze the language development and be able to connect it with the theories, notions and the readings that we have read so far. For example – if one of the activity is Total Physical Response (TPR), after describing the activity you will discuss what you thought of this approach? Was this an effective way of learning? What does the theory say about it? Or say for example you used one of Ada and Campoy’s activity – did this activity really emanate a dialogue? What was the objective and did the activity meet its objective and so on.
