    4.00 Credits
    Arcadia University

    This course addresses the processes of language learning from a variety of disciplinary orientations (in particular socio-cultural and cognitive perspectives) and engages students in an understanding of the structure and sound systems of English in relation to other languages and in relation to a variety of teaching/learning strategies. By focusing both on a comparison of language structures and sound systems as well as theories of second language acquisition and development, this course allows students to learn about differences between learning a first and a second language and the influences of these processes on instructional principles. This course includes a language-learning component for students in the course that will allow them to reflect on their own learning processes in relation to language learning theories and to compare English to another language. Students will have opportunities to read about immigrant experiences in the US and collaborate with local bilingual community organizations and community members to experience language learning with a language partner. The course fulfills a requirement for ESL certification in the state of Pennsylvania.
