Education professor Kenji Hakuta discusses how he became involved in the field of English Language Learning, and how it has led to his latest work: Preparing instructional materials to help English learners meet the new Common Core standards.
This is the first of 11 brief videos, in which Kenji Hakuta, a professor at the Graduate School of Education, explains why he worked with top scholars and education leaders to establish the consortium Understanding Language. The group aims to develop curricula and offer professional development services to help teachers work with English language learners to meet the new standards set by the Common Core. The videos were posted in April. The full series can be seen here on YouTube.
