Description
Whether they are native speakers or learning to speak it as an additional language, all students are learning English. Even those who are fluent never completely master the language, as there is always a new word to learn or a new genre to explore. The purpose of this course, which focuses on the affective, psychological, and sociolinguistic aspects of language acquisition in the context of the Pennsylvania Learning Standards, is to prepare preservice teachers for working with students who know English to some extent but not well enough to be in a class that is taught exclusively in English. Topics include strategies for teaching listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.ÂÂFieldwork experience.ÂRequired Clearances.ÂCredits: 3.ÂWhen Offered: Fall and spring semesters.ÂFee.
