SURVEY OF EDUCATIONAL LINGUISTICS
CIGENRL 510
In Survey of Educational Linguistics, students will examine certain core areas of linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), with special attention to language acquisition and sociolinguistics. Course assignments will relate to the teaching of linguistically diverse communities.
PEDAGOGICAL TRANSLANGUAGING ACROSS CONTENT AREAS
CIGENRL 530
This course will explore how a translanguaging stance, design, and shifts help teachers to facilitate rich learning among all students, and especially their bi/multilingual students. The three goals of this course are to 1) enhance your knowledge of translanguaging theory, practice, and assessment from a critical orientation, 2) increase your knowledge of how to use translanguaging pedagogies within linguistically diverse contexts, and 3) provide opportunities to apply this knowledge across various academic content areas.
INTRODUCTION TO BILINGUAL/BICULTURAL EDUCATION AND ESL
CIGENRL 550
This course explores the social, cultural, and educational issues connected to the experiences in schools of youth raised in families and communities where languages other than English are commonly spoken. Some of these issues are: translanguaging (multilingual) teaching and learning, multicultural education, politics of language education and policy in the US; race, racism, and discrimination in schooling; design and implementation of bilingual and English as a 'Second' Language (ESL) programs; theories of second language acquisition; pedagogy and methods for teaching ESL; and the social context of schooling and learning in the US.
MULTICULTURAL CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADOLESCENT LITERATURE
CIGENRL 565
Multicultural Children and Young Adolescent Literature utilizes children and adolescent literature to teach for social justice. Students will be prepared to critically examine existing literature and develop ways to utilize children and adolescent literature to challenge their own students to critically examine societal norms and expectations with the aim for social justice.
MULTILINGUAL TEACHING METHODS
CIGENRL 603
Throughout this course, we will examine the intersections of culture and language and learn about processes of language acquisition. This is a field-based methods course, so we will meet at a local school and work with younger students. Through this collaboration, we will develop an understanding of issues confronting emergent bilingual (EB)/English learner (EL) students, and examine various program models for supporting and expanding students' linguistic repertoires. We will learn methods for integrating the teaching of language and academic content. We will implement a variety of strategies to design curricula, instruction, and classroom settings to meet the needs of EBs.
