GESL 510 - Language & Linguistics

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

Grad English as a 2nd Language

Description:

This course provides a foundation in linguistics for teachers of English language learners in grades K-12 and includes an overview of phonology and grammar. Through readings, class activities and analysis of language in use, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics and apply that knowledge both in identifying areas of difficulty for English language learners and designing appropriate instructional strategies. Emphasis will also be placed on exploring current theories of first and second language acquisition and discussing implications for teaching and learning. Participants will apply their emergent understanding of course concepts in a 5- hour practicum, teaching/tutoring one English language learner in English grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary and documenting student progress.
