Content Language & Literacies

Catalog description

This course introduces a research-based instructional framework for teaching content language, literacies, and literature in PrK-12 multilingual/multicultural contexts. Students develop skills in teaching language demands of viewing, listening, speaking, reading, and writing varied school genres to multilingual learners at different developmental and language proficiency levels. Participants also analyze children's literature, informational texts, and graphic novels, and learn to teach language expectations of content curricula in inclusive multicultural classrooms that foster critical thinking skills.
