Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

The course will introduce students to recent theories of second language acquisition (SLA) by way of critical reading and discussion; it will show how SLA theories manifest themselves in various teaching approaches by influencing instructional syllabi and classroom methodology; and it will provide an opportunity for course participants to apply the insights gained to a real pedagogical context. Each student in the class will be paired with a community member for weekly tutoring in ESL, so that the experience of teaching will inform (and be informed by) our discussions of SLA theory.
