Thank you for this course! It is a great opportunity for teachers at the beginning of their careers to dive into profession smoothly as it describes steps and details which are usually ommitted at universities (at least, in mine) but which are very important because they save time. At the same time, this course is good for newcimers, people who have tried to work with children and understand some peculiarities.
This class brought to light many oftentimes unknown or overlooked yet extremely important aspects of both teaching and learning outcomes for the ELL student. I highly recommend this class. I believe the information included in this class is highly necessary for todays growing education system. Kudos to the educators teaching and utilizing this information, and to Coursera for offering such a gem
