Description:

Puebla, Mexico study abroad course: This is an experiential course designed to give students practical experience in the area of teaching English as a second language. The course content will include weekly lectures on instructional strategies and educational philosophy, as well as teaching English in local schools, and observing education in an indigenous rural school. Students will be asked to write a reflective journal as well as other written assignments for the course. In a culminating writing assignment, students will reflect on and interpret their classroom experiences through the course readings. Students can select theories or themes from the coursework and evaluate how or if they played out in local students' language learning. For example, they might analyze processes of second language learning through the development of their students over the semester. This project should reflect an integration of course material and students' experiences in the elementary classroom and should represent the development of the student's understanding of teaching and learning a second language.
