Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course examines issues that affect English language learners (ELLs) in schools.  Students will develop the knowledge of language necessary for effective teaching of ELLs.  Language is framed as a valuable resource used to serve a purpose; students will investigate concepts of register, genre, and features through the lens of functional linguistics.  Students will also explore factors that contribute to the educational experience of English learners by examining impacts of policy, programming, and instruction.   Course activities set students up to understand and appreciate the experience of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
