This course is designed to explore the influences between language and culture through the field of sociolinguistics. It will lead students to examine how learning experiences can be affected by 文化 tendencies and expectations, and how learning about a target language culture enhances successful second language acquisition. This course will also review the diversity of comparative educational systems. These themes will all be connected to practical teaching strategies and implications.

Exploring the elements of authentic language skill assessment will be the focus of this course. Components of this course will include theoretical foundations of authentic assessment, 开发有效可靠的评估工具, and methods of implementing and maintaining on-going evaluation of student learning.

The course will examine general issues in first language acquisition but will spend the majority of time focusing on second language acquisition processes. Topics will include language development through the preschool years, the role of the first language in adult second language acquisition (SLA), 中介语, 误差分析, 个体差异, 学习者策略, 语言的共性, 以及教学在第二语言学习中的作用. 建议LIN 556和LIN 554同时服用.

The practicum serves to give students teaching experience in an authentic English-language learning classroom. Students will also meet with faculty and classroom teachers to assist in processing and integration previously learned material with their present experience. This practicum can be completed on-campus through our community ESOL classes. It can also be fulfilled through other teaching assignments including area colleges, 社区组织, 校园英语 & 文化夏令营,或者出国留学经历.
