SURVEY OF EDUCATIONAL LINGUISTICS
CIGENRL 510
This course will help bring to conscious awareness the often subconscious knowledge that native and fluent speakers of other languages have about language. We will examine the core areas of linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), language acquisition, dynamic and creative language use, and intersections between race, racism, and language.
THEORIES FOR DEVELOPING LANGUAGES AND LITERACIES
CIGENRL 520
In this course, students will develop a working knowledge of contemporary issues and theories in sustaining home and community languages, learning additional languages, and reclaiming heritage languages. This course is particularly focused on developing a strong theory base for how languages are taught and learned, as well as the reasons and goals of biliteracy and multimodal literacy education.
REFLECTIVE PRACTICE AND ACTION RESEARCH
CIGENRL 702
The course assists teachers in planning, organizing, implementing, and assessing inquiry-related strategies appropriate for their classrooms. Participants will investigate current issues by way of Action Research, ethnographic, symbolic interaction, and qualitative inquiry techniques. Projects will be conducted that relate to individual classroom needs and situations.
CURRENT TOPICS IN CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

Topics will vary from semester to semester, and may include, for example, national curriculum standards for school subjects, writing across the curriculum, cooperative learning in a specific subject, the school-to-work transition, or instruction on specific themes such as the environment or communication. Repeatable for credit.
APPLIED THEORY TO PRACTICE FOR CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
CIGENRL 715
This course connects the theoretical and empirical bases with practical applications for a current topic important to PreK-12 school districts. An application project will be included.
