LYST 215A - Language and Literacy in Middle Childhood and Adolescence
This course investigates issues in language and literacy, focusing on
grades 5-12. Readings and discussion of the language processes
(listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are grounded in the
theoretical perspectives in the areas of psycho-sociolinguistics,
social/cultural literacies, the transactional nature of literature, and
critical literacy. Language and literacy development of middle school
and high school students is studied through readings and field
experiences. There is an emphasis on the role of cultural and
linguistic diversity in literacy learning and teaching. Students are
expected to develop their own theories of literacy learning in schools
and communities. A ten hour field experience is required.
