Cross Linguistic Pedagogies

Catalog description

This course focuses on the pedagogy of dimensions of language and how it is used in various contexts (social and academic) for understanding and facilitating the cross linguistic connections of English learners (EL)/Emergent Bilinguals (EB). Language documentation and description will be examined and used to intentionally and systematically identify strategies for bridging the phonemes, letter - sound correlations, spelling patterns, word analysis and use of cognates in biliteracy/EL classrooms.
