LYST 208 - Language, Culture and Identity: Literacy Issues for Teachers and Children
Semester Hours: 3
Spring, Summer
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.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
May not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
