ED 624 ESL: Understanding Language Learning
(3 credits)
This course addresses the processes of language learning from a variety of perspectives and engages students in an understanding of the structure and sound systems of English in relation to other languages and in relation to a variety of teaching strategies. By focusing both on a comparison of language structures and sound systems as well as theories of second language acquisition and development, this course allows students to learn about differences between learning a first and a second language and the influences of these processes on instructional principles and strategies. This course includes an intensive language learning component for students in the course that will allow them to reflect on their own learning processes in relation to language learning theories and to compare English to another language.
IMPORTANT: Students must have current background checks on file with the School of Education using online platform, Castle Branch. (See Background Checks)
