EDUC 1710 - Phonics and Language Study: Middle Childhood

Hours: 4
The major purpose of this course is to develop a foundation on which to use literacy and language as tools to promote learning in the classroom. This foundational knowledge comprises topics such as language development, English language development for second language learners, the cultural and social aspects of literacy and language learning, and the role of non-standard English dialects in language learning. Teacher candidates will explore the role of phonics and vocabulary instruction as mechanisms for fostering word knowledge. Likewise, teacher candidates will administer multiple language assessments within an assessment case study project.
Notes: Teacher candidates must achieve a grade of C or better.
