Catalog description

Multilingualism & Academic Development: This course focuses on the role of language acquisition in the academic development of the bi/multilingual and multicultural student. It examines language beyond the practice of signification and looks at the subjectivities of language, with implications of the role of language as a mediator of learning and as a powerful force in the construction of meaning across curricular areas. The course emphasizes theories and research for studying multilingualism across social, historical, and political contexts.
