XVI. ASSIGNMENTS
The course requirements consist of Individual Weekly Reflections, a Group Presentation, a Group Lesson
Plan Presentation, and a Final Reflection Paper.
Individual Weekly Reflections (140 points: 14 reflections, each worth 10 points)
Completion grade At the end of each Thursday, complete the weekly reflection on WebCampus by 11:59PM. Briefly answer the guided question provided in the discussion portal. Your reflection should be representative of your thoughts/opinions regarding the course material and assigned readings. At the end of each Saturday, complete two peer responses on WebCampus by 11:59PM.
You are to provide ONE original post and respond to TWO of your peers’ posts. It is expected that the reflections and peer responses are substantive in nature, meaning you provide AT LEAST five complete sentences in your original post and in your response to your peers’ posts. *Your original post and your responses are due on the Saturday of each week by 11:59 PM –NO exceptions!* All due dates are provided in the class schedule.
Group Chapter Presentation (150 points: presentation = 100; group work points = 50)
See rubric at end of syllabus
1) You will choose one topic from the list below to prepare a professional PowerPoint and class
presentation: 1. ELL program types (Ch. 3) 2. A profile of English language learners, including language and culture (Ch. 4) 3. Parts of language and application to the ELL classroom - phonology, morphology, &
syntax (Chs. 5 – 8) 4. Parts of language and application to the ELL classroom - semantics, pragmatics, & non-
verbal communication (Chs. 9 – 11) 5. Discourse & dialects (Chs. 12 & 13) 6. First and second language acquisition stages and language learning errors (Chs. 15 &
20) 7. First and second language acquisition theories and models (Ch. 17) 8. ELL strategies & styles (Chs. 18 & 19) 9. ELLs and Assessment (Chs. 25 & 26)
2) You will develop this topic in your PowerPoint and in your oral presentation by providing:
(1) An overview of the topic (summary of chapter and the most important points expanded - see below)
(2) Why this topic is important for teachers to know and how it can be practically applied
(3) An engaging class activity to guide learning
(4) An assessment to gauge learning
3) Important notes about the Group Presentation:
Very important: Your PowerPoint and presentation must expand (meaning, add on,
bring in extra information) from the material presented in the class textbook and
provided readings. This means you should branch out and look for library books, peer-
reviewed journal articles, credible websites (.edu; .gov; .org), relevant YouTube videos, etc. to enhance your knowledge and presentation of the material. You should
have at least three references outside of the course text and materials.
TESL 471 4
The presentation should be 50 minutes long. Suggested ideas to break up your time:
Lecture on material: 20 min. Class Activity: 20 min. Assessment: 10 min.
OR
Lecture on material: 30 min. Class Activity/Formative Assessment: 20 min.
During the presentation, think about how to creatively teach the class about your topic.
Engage the class in your lecture through activities, discussion, or other. Be creative!
You must also include some form of assessment to ensure the class learned the material
you intended for them to learn.
Your group PowerPoint must be uploaded by the beginning of your presentation day
on the designated Web Campus location. EACH group member will upload a copy of
the presentation. Make sure the PowerPoint has all group members’ names on it. The PowerPoint should include APA 6th edition citations from the course text AND
other credible sources you find at the library or online.
If you want your classmates to read or view material you found before your
presentation, send all the material at least TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE to the instructor via
email.
Note on APA Formatting:
APA stands for "American Psychological Association" and is what is used in social
sciences, including education, for citing sources. Some of you may be familiar with MLA
("Modern Language Association") in the humanities. APA is the same idea but for social
science. While there is a handbook on APA format, it is a bit pricy and I don't expect you
to buy the handbook. You can use the following free website from Purdue university as a
guide for APA Citations: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/
4) Turn in the “Group Member Work Rubric” for each of your group members on the day of your
presentation. (Template provided at end of syllabus and on Web Campus).
Group Lesson Plan Presentation (185 points: presentation = 100; group work points = 50; lesson plan upload = 10; individual
reflection = 25) See presentation rubric at end of syllabus; lesson plan upload & reflection are completion grades.
1) First, find an existing lesson plan from either a classroom curriculum or credible online
source (.edu, .gov., .org) and modify it to meet ELLs’ needs, based on what we have learned in
class:
1. Lesson focused on eliciting and building ELLs’ background knowledge (2) 2. Lesson focused on the parts of language applicable and engaging to ELL students (2)
3. Lesson focused on a specific ELL strategy or style (CALL, SIOP, or 5-E)
4. Lesson focused on authentic assessment for ELLs
**Important: Include the Common Core State Standards or Next Generation Science Standards you are
teaching. You can find these through an online search: Google “Nevada Academic Content Standards”
2) Your group lesson plan must be uploaded by the beginning of your presentation day in the designated Web Campus location by EACH GROUP MEMBER. Make sure the lesson plan has all group members’ names on it.
Very Important: ALL lesson plans should include some form of assessment. Lesson plans should
be written into one of the templates provided on WebCampus. You can choose the template
you like best, but you must choose one of the templates provided. You will then present your
lesson plan to the class as if the class were all ELLs. Be creative and make sure you engage your
audience. The presentation should be 50 minutes long.
TESL 471 5
3) After the lesson presentation, each person in the group will INDIVIDUALLY write a brief
reflection answering these questions and upload it onto Web Campus by the end of the day of
your presentation: ▪ What was one strength of our lesson? ▪ What is one thing we could have improved on?
▪ Based on the assessment, what would the next steps in our instruction be?
The rest of the class will:
Bring one print out of the Lesson Plan Evaluation Template provided on
WebCampus. The template asks you to answer the following questions:
o What about this lesson would especially be helpful for ELLs’ learning? Be
specific and constructive and make connections to what we have learned in the course so far.
o What concerned you most about this lesson in term of whether it would be
helpful for ELLs’ learning? Be specific and constructive and make
connections to what we have learned in the course so far.
Turn in one copy with your name on a class-provided sticky note to your instructor.
The next class meeting, these evaluations will anonymously be provided to the
presenters as feedback.
This exercise will count as part of your attendance and collaborative engagement (see “Grading Policy” below).
4) Turn in the “Group Member Work Rubric” for each of your group members on the day of your
presentation. (Template provided at end of Syllabus and on Web Campus).
Final Reflection (100 points)
See rubric at end of syllabus
At the end of the course, you will complete a final reflection on your learning experiences in this
course related to ELL education. You may use your weekly reflections to help craft your final
reflection. In specific, your final reflection must address your understanding of: 1. Your role in making learning equitable for ELLs 2. The role of ELLs’ language and culture in their learning and how you will facilitate that
learning
3. Strategies you can/will implement as a future teacher to facilitate learning for ELLs
4. How you will use assessment in your classroom to promote ELL learning
Important: Each of these points MUST be addressed in your final reflection (Suggestion: divide your
paper by headings to address these points).
Final Paper Guidelines (also see rubric at the end of the syllabus):
Three to Four pages in length
12 point, Times New Roman font, double spaced with 1” margins
Must cite course readings (textbook and assigned articles) using APA format
Must include a separate page with references (does not count as part of 4 pages)
The final paper will be uploaded to the portal located on WebCampus – no paper copies or emailed
submissions will be accepted!

XVIII. SPECIAL NOTES
Academic Misconduct—Academic integrity is a legitimate concern for every member of the campus
community; all share in upholding the fundamental values of honesty, trust, respect, fairness,
responsibility and professionalism. By choosing to join the UNLV community, students accept the
expectations of the Student Academic Misconduct Policy and are encouraged when faced with choices to
always take the ethical path. Students enrolling in UNLV assume the obligation to conduct themselves in
a manner compatible with UNLV’s function as an educational institution.
An example of academic misconduct is plagiarism. Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of another,
from the Internet or any source, without proper citation of the sources. See the Student Academic
Misconduct Policy (approved December 9, 2005) located at:
https://www.unlv.edu/studentconduct/student-conduct.
Copyright—The University requires all members of the University Community to familiarize themselves
with and to follow copyright and fair use requirements. You are individually and solely responsible for
violations of copyright and fair use laws. The university will neither protect nor defend you nor
assume any responsibility for employee or student violations of fair use laws. Violations of copyright
laws could subject you to federal and state civil penalties and criminal liability, as well as disciplinary
action under University policies. Additional information can be found at:
http://www.unlv.edu/provost/copyright.
Disability Resource Center (DRC)—The UNLV Disability Resource Center (SSC-A 143,
http://drc.unlv.edu/, 702-895-0866) provides resources for students with disabilities. If you feel that you
have a disability, please make an appointment with a Disabilities Specialist at the DRC to discuss what
options may be available to you. If you are registered with the UNLV Disability Resource Center, bring
your Academic Accommodation Plan from the DRC to the instructor during office hours so that you may
work together to develop strategies for implementing the accommodations to meet both your needs
and the requirements of the course. Any information you provide is private and will be treated as such.
To maintain the confidentiality of your request, please do not approach the instructor in front of others
to discuss your accommodation needs.
Religious Holidays Policy—Any student missing class quizzes, examinations, or any other class or lab
work because of observance of religious holidays shall be given an opportunity during that semester to
make up missed work. The make-up will apply to the religious holiday absence only. It shall be the
responsibility of the student to notify the instructor within the first 14 calendar days of the course for
fall and spring courses (excepting modular courses), or within the first 7 calendar days of the course
for summer and modular courses, of his or her intention to participate in religious holidays which do not
fall on state holidays or periods of class recess. For additional information, please visit:
http://catalog.unlv.edu/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=531.
TESL 471 7
Transparency in Learning and Teaching—The University encourages application of the transparency
method of constructing assignments for student success. Please see these two links for further
information:
https://www.unlv.edu/provost/teachingandlearning
https://www.unlv.edu/provost/transparency
Incomplete Grades—The grade of I—Incomplete—can be granted when a student has satisfactorily
completed three-fourths of course work for that semester/session but for reason(s) beyond the
student’s control, and acceptable to the instructor, cannot complete the last part of the course, and the
instructor believes that the student can finish the course without repeating it. The incomplete work
must be made up before the end of the following regular semester for undergraduate courses. Graduate
students receiving “I” grades in 500-, 600-, or 700-level courses have up to one calendar year to
complete the work, at the discretion of the instructor. If course requirements are not completed within
the time indicated, a grade of F will be recorded and the GPA will be adjusted accordingly. Students who
are fulfilling an Incomplete do not register for the course but make individual arrangements with the
instructor who assigned the I grade.
Tutoring and Coaching—The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides tutoring, academic success
coaching and other academic assistance for all UNLV undergraduate students. For information regarding
tutoring subjects, tutoring times, and other ASC programs and services, visit http://www.unlv.edu/asc or
call 702-895-3177. The ASC building is located across from the Student Services Complex
(SSC). Academic success coaching is located on the second floor of the SSC (ASC Coaching Spot). Drop-in
tutoring is located on the second floor of the Lied Library and College of Engineering TEB second floor.
UNLV Writing Center—One-on-one or small group assistance with writing is available free of charge to
UNLV students at the Writing Center, located in CDC-3-301. Although walk-in consultations are
sometimes available, students with appointments will receive priority assistance. Appointments may be
made in person or by calling 702-895-3908. The student’s Rebel ID Card, a copy of the assignment (if
possible), and two copies of any writing to be reviewed are requested for the consultation. More
information can be found at: http://writingcenter.unlv.edu/.
Rebelmail—By policy, faculty and staff should e-mail students’ Rebelmail accounts only. Rebelmail is
UNLV’s official e-mail system for students. It is one of the primary ways students receive official
university communication such as information about deadlines, major campus events, and
announcements. All UNLV students receive a Rebelmail account after they have been admitted to the
university. Students’ e-mail prefixes are listed on class rosters. The suffix is always @unlv.nevada.edu.
Emailing within WebCampus is acceptable.
Final Examinations—The University requires that final exams given at the end of a course occur at the
time and on the day specified in the final exam schedule. See the schedule at:
http://www.unlv.edu/registrar/calendars.
Communication – The preferred method of communication is by email. I will only use your Rebelmail
accounts for communication. I will respond to emails within 24 hours during weekdays (i.e. Mon-Fri)
and within 48 hours during the weekend (Sat-Sun). Should you need to see me in person, please check
my office hours or contact me to schedule appointments outside of my posted office hours.
TESL 471 8
Since most of your assignments will be due on WebCampus, please do not procrastinate on posting your
work. If you wait until the last minute to complete your assignments and you have technical difficulties,
you risk being penalized for late submission. So allow yourself ample time to deal with possible
technology issues. If you have technology issues related to WebCampus please call our IT Help desk
right away @ 702-895-0777 as they are well equipped to handle your requests and open 24 hours to
assist you.

Attendance & Collaborative Engagement
Attendance is required and affects the final grade (unless prior arrangement is made with the professor
and/or a doctor’s notice of illness is given after the absence. It is at the professor’s discretion whether to
excuse the absence(s) or not). For the purposes of this class, collaborative engagement is defined as
presence, participation, and engagement in class discussions and activities.
Your classmates and myself deserve your respect when sharing information and presenting. You equally deserve respect when you are sharing information and are presenting. If you have a cell phone (text or
call), social media, email, etc. personal EMERGENCY, TAKE IT OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM
IMMEDIATELY, before I ask you to leave for being on technology not related to class. Likewise, if I have
to ask you to leave, this will count as a later/early departure.
Your attendance pattern (absences, late arrivals, early departures, and lack of engagement such as
being on your cell phone or on social media or email not directly related to what we are doing in class
at the moment) will influence your final grade as follows:
Absences Effect
1 – 2 no change
3 grade drops 1/3 (e.g., B+ will drop to B)
4 grade drops 2/3 (e.g., B+ will drop to B-)
5 grade drops 1 letter (e.g., B+ will drop to C+)
> 6 F
Note: Three (3) late arrivals and/or early departures (including being asked to leave class because of
non-class related technology use) equal 1 absence.
TESL 471 9
Missed Class Material
Learning and collaborative engagement are cumulative. For example: Understanding concepts discussed
in the third class is contingent upon having attended and engaged with others during the first and
second class sessions. Therefore, attendance and collaborative engagement in every class are crucial. If
a class session is missed due to illness, emergency, or professional activity, you are personally
responsible for acquiring all the information missed from other classmates. It is strongly recommended
that you consult with more than one classmate since individual interpretations of the information may
vary.
Late Assignment Submissions
Submitting assignments on time is required and affects the assignment grade. Late submissions will
influence the assignment grade as follows:
Late Assignment Penalties: Deduction
1 session (day) late 5 points off
2 sessions late 10 points off (for smaller assignments
worth 10 points, this means you get zero
points)
3 or more sessions late Not accepted; zero points earned
No assignments will be accepted after the last day of class.
Note on Assignments, Submissions, and “pre” Feedback on Drafts
Assignments can only be submitted once. I will not look at drafts of assignments unless it happens
during a face-to-face reading appointment you must make with me (e.g., during office hours or by
appointment). For the reading appointment, you must have a printed version of your work that you
bring to class in order to receive “pre” feedback from me.
Note on Grade Appeals
If you believe you should have a change in an individual grade, you must submit an appeal in printed,
hard copy writing (not email) with substantial and correctly reasoned evidence and correct APA
citations and references. Printed appeals must be given to the instructor AFTER class or left in the
instructor’s mailbox on campus. Even after submitting an appeal, the instructor is under no obligation to
change your grade. If applicable: If you believe you should have a change in a group grade, you may talk
to your instructor face-to-face during office hours. Again, the instructor is under no obligation to change
your grade.
