Abstract:
|
It is estimated that 1 in 9 U.S. Kindergarten through twelfth grade students are considered English Language Learners (ELLs). This proportion is projected to increase to 1 in 4 by 2030. Many universities are experiencing an analogous, though less dramatic, increase in the proportion of ELLs enrolled at their institution, and at the same time, are encouraging more and more courses to be offered online. In response to these trends, this roundtable will explore the issues faced by ELLs when learning statistical concepts in online environments. Ideas for assisting ELLs in online statistics courses will be proposed and critiqued. Reasons behind advantages for ELLs in online environments as opposed to F2F environments will also be discussed. Informed by qualitative and quantitative evidence about specific challenges faced by ELLs, some time will be spent brainstorming about pedagological methods effective in addressing these challenges in an online environment.
