LYST 213 - Introduction to Bilingual and Biliteracy Instruction for Children and Adolescents
This course explores the cultural, linguistic, political and
pedagogical aspects involved in the process of developing school
literacies in bi/multicultural classrooms. Literacy development is
discussed in the perspective of supporting learners to use biliteracy
as a tool to understand, to extend, and to act upon their worlds.
Topics include the relationship between oral and written language
processes in bilingual/biliterate students, and the interaction between
languages during literacy and language learning. The course examines
the literate pedagogical needs and assessment procedures of bilingual
and biliterate learners within special and general education contexts.
All theoretical explorations are nested in the learning processes of
individuals with bicultural literacy experiences, including students
who are considered to have special education needs. A ten hour field
experience is required.
