LYST 208 - Language and Literacy in Urban Settings
Spring
This course focuses on how people use language and learn language in the communities
where we live and teach. Sociolinguistic perspectives on language variation among
diverse populations are examined to expose common myths and to understand the
language experiences of students from multilingual and multidialectical urban
settings. Course topics include language systems (phonological, orthographic,
syntactic, semantic, pragmatic), language variation, language learning/language
acquisition, and discourse in and outside of classrooms. Attention is given to
the construction of pedagogies that promote access to language and literacy in
schools. A ten hour field experience is required.
