C I 3553 - Issues of Language and Culture in Public Schools (3)


When Offered: Fall; Spring
This course examines the concepts of language and culture and their relationships to teaching and learning in U.S. public schools. Students will develop an understanding of the history of linguistic diversity and language education in the U.S., theoretical foundations of the relationship between language, culture, and identity, as well as how immigration influences the cultural and linguistic diversity of schools. Through the use of case studies in the second half of the course, students will develop applied knowledge of how these issues interact in public school settings.
