Language, Culture, and Pedagogy in Bilingual Classrooms

Catalog description

This module deals with bilingual education, schools, classrooms, and learners, with an emphasis on building off of students' cultural and linguistic resources to utilize and maintain native language. In order to accomplish these important building blocks of bilingual education, teacher candidates will inquire into and analyze the school's approach to family and community involvement with a specific lens on L1 maintenance and bilingualism. Candidates will engage with parents, families, and communities to inform the analysis of the school and classroom's alignment to language use in homes and communities.
