ED 544 - Language & Cognition Credits: 3
This seminar course provides an exploration of issues related to second language acquisition in schools, cognitive development in bilingual learners, and restructuring K-12 education to better meet the needs of linguistic minority students. Course participants will read extensively in the literature regarding second language education research, learner strategies in acquiring a second language, and the analysis of English and its underlying system. Three major projects will be required, including a literature circle response presentation; a portfolio of weekly response assignments over course readings and weekly linguistic analysis assignments; and an integrative capstone experience which includes conducting and writing up a case study of a selected bilingual learner. Students must have graduate standing to register for this course. Students will be required to have an active TaskStream account in order to participate in the course.
