LYST 215A - Language and Literacy in Middle Childhood and Adolescence
Fall, Spring, Summer
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.
Credits: 3 s.h.
