Laws and Legislation


** ESL (second language learning) Laws, Legislation, and Legal Decisions: To begin the process of promoting background awareness of ESL, you will design a slide show that presents information on key laws, legislation, and legal decisions. This Wiki page should include a title, graphic, and brief overview/summary of the slide show along with the **actual slide show file**. Be sure to include a few links where faculty and staff may "read more about" the laws that have impacted second language learning. Last, be sure to include a footer consisting of a graphic and your contact information ** **.**

NOTE: It is a good idea to save your slide show as a pdf. It will be easier to upload that way. You might also decide to save each slide as a picture (jpeg, gif, or tiff) and upload as I did below.
