Abstract:
Preparing teachers to work with English language learners (ELLs) is of critical importance given their increased numbers in schools. One promising initiative is the subject of this study: combining ESL coursework with a service-learning component in a teacher education program. This research explores the impact of this service-learning initiative on pre-service teachers' sociocultural awareness, content knowledge and understanding of teaching ELLs.
