In Summer 2022, the Department of Teaching & Learning will offer EDUTL 5600/6600: Language as a Resource, taught by Dr. Francis Troyan.
The course will adopt an online synchronous modality and will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9am to 11:15am, from June 7 to July 28.
Course description:
In this course, we position functional language use as a critical lens on teaching and learning to understand and examine: 1) the legitimacy of our own bi/multilingual or multi-dialectal skills and those of our students, 2) language as a functional, meaning making resource, and 3) language as structured according to specific purposes, genres, and modalities.
Whether in content-area literacy, Bilingual Education, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), or World Language Education, this course explores the language choices available based on the particular context in which language is used.
Course reading and activities will provide teachers, graduate students, and teacher candidates with a space to discuss and deconstruct these functions language through the analysis of samples of both personal and educational language use.
