LYST 213 - Introduction to Bilingual and Biliteracy Instruction for Children and Adolescents
Fall, Spring, Summer
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.
