Description: In World Geography for English Language Learners, students will examine people, places, and environments at local, regional, national, and international scales from the spatial and ecological perspectives of geography. The course will emphasize physical processes that shape patterns in physical environments, analyze how location affects economic activities in different economic systems, identify the processes that influence political divisions of the planet, and compare components of culture that shape the characteristics of regions. Students will use primary and secondary sources to practice problem-solving and decision-making skills to ask and answer geographic questions. This course is designed specifically for speakers of other languages with limited English proficiency and will be taught with English as a second language methodology. Objectives for each content area and grade level course will be the TAKS objectives for the tests in which students are being remediated. Strategies will be course-specific and will include such elements as test-taking strategies, problem solving, reading for meaning, and other content-specific strategies.
