    This course focuses on the major theories of first and second language acquisition and principles of linguistic systems (i.e., phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics), and examines these topics drawing on a student-centered approach to enhance pedagogical understanding of teaching English to speakers of other languages. Specifically, course content explores these topics as they relate to classroom-based language learning. Candidates will explore the relationship of oral and written language and become familiar with assessment techniques and devices for evaluation of the development of English language proficiency.

Justification and Assessment
Next
  • What is the rationale for adding this course?*
    This course is a revision of a previously deleted course PTED 7240 (Literacy, Linguistics, and Second Language Acquisition). In an effort to reactivate the ESOL Endorsement, all course prefixes, titles, descriptions, student learning outcomes, and pre- and co-requisites for courses associated with the ESOL Endorsement have been revised to reflect current terminology and research in the field of TESOL. (The reactivation of the ESOL Endorsement has already been approved along with the deletion of the previously offered PTED 7240 course.)
  • Student Learning Outcomes*
    In this course, students will be able to: 1. Categorize how the English language works in a linguistic sense (e.g., phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, diction, semantics, and pragmatics; Finegan, 2015; Fromkin, Rodman, & Hyams, 2017; Griffiths & Cummins, 2017; McArthur, Lam-McArthur, & Fontaine, 2018; Wayland, 2019; TESOL: 1.a.1, 1.a.2, 1.a.3); 2. Analyze and evaluate the central theories, assumptions, findings, and controversies in first and second language acquisition/learning, as well as the individual, social, cultural, and political factors that affect this process in a P–12 classroom setting (Fasold & Connor-Linton, 2014; Fromkin, Rodman, & Hyams, 2017; Freeman & Freeman, 2014; McArthur, Lam-McArthur, & Fontaine, 2018; TESOL: 1.b.1, 1.b.2, 1.b.3, 1.b.4, 1.b.5, 4.a.1, 4.b.1, 5.a.2); 3. Synthesize their own understanding and practical application of the various linguistic elements in English (Freeman & Freeman, 2014; Fromkin, Rodman, & Hyams, 2017; McArthur, Lam-McArthur, & Fontaine, 2018; Wayland, 2019; TESOL: 1.b.4); 4. Evaluate student language production as informed by language proficiency development levels and language acquisition assessments (Freeman & Freeman, 2014; McArthur, Lam-McArthur, & Fontaine, 2018; Wayland, 2019; TESOL: 4.b.1).
