MLE 544 - Understanding and Teaching Disciplinary Language

In this course, students will explore a functional approach to language, examine second language acquisition theories to teaching, study the state language development standards, and begin to bring language, SLA, and standards together to create meaningful educational experiences for their students in P-12 in a culturally and linguistically sustaining classroom. As we learn about different ways we use language to make meaning, we will also discuss how we can assess students in their language development.
