SEC 550: Culture, Language, and Equity in Schooling

Secondary Education · 6 credits

This course takes up issues of culture and social justice as they impact schools and teaching. Students will examine their own cultural and linguistic identity - particularly in the context of histories of schooling - and understand how beliefs and perspectives influence teaching. We will explore theory and research on bilingual and biliteracy acquisition and development drawn from critical, sociocultural, cognitive, and sociolinguistic traditions that inform current practice. Finally, we explore foundational concepts in language acquisition for multilingual students, and the historical, legal, theoretical and policy contexts of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students.
