LYST 362 A-Z - Sociolinguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives of Literacy Semester Hours: 3 Periodically
Courses in this doctoral core draw from the disciplines of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, developmental psychology and reader response theory. The focus is on understanding reading and writing processes embedded in social practices and the ways in which people construct and transact with written texts. Investigations of oral language, language learning, relationships between oral and written language, and relationships between semiotic systems (literacy, art, music) are integral to understanding literacy as a language process. Historic and current theoretical frameworks and models of reading and writing and related research practices within a variety of social contexts (classrooms, clinics, communities, families) are addressed. Consult the class schedule for topics offered within a particular semester.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Doctoral student or permission of the instructor. (Formerly READ, 256 Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics, and the Process of Reading and Writing).
