Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Bilingual/Bicultural Education

Description:

Course covers a variety of verbal and nonverbal communication modes in a broad array of language/culture contexts frequently encountered in bilingual/bicultural classroom situations. A primary focus will be on oral communication especially the perception recognition and production of English as rendered by speakers of other languages. Accent, especially when it triggers semantic confusion, is emphasized. Equal significance is granted to culture modes which constitute the context for linguistic expression. The development of cross-linguistic/ cultural awareness of communication is pedagogically geared to help instructors avert and overcome any miscommunications encountered in language/ culture diverse classrooms and community interactions.
