EDES 6004 Looking at the Classroom Culture through a Linguistic Lens

3 semester hours

This course provides opportunities to study teaching as a linguistic process for creating and maintaining classroom culture. The course emphasizes a holistic exploration of the influences of language interactions (examining language attitudes and practices through discourse analysis), language structure (phonology and phonetics, morphology and syntax), language assessment, and language/literacy development as foundations for first and second language and literacy acquisition.
