EDEL-510 Language Acquisition in Classroom Instruction

This course reviews the foundational theories of language as a system, including phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, semantics, and discourse structures as well as the application of theory to support English Language Learners (ELLs) in their language and literacy skills. The course examines current research in language acquisition and how L1 literacy development differs from L2 literacy development to support ELLs' English language and content area achievement. Candidates will model personal integrity and communication skills and design instruction to meet the sociocultural, psychological, and political variables of ELLs' English language development.
