Teaching Spanish

Starting with the fall 2009 term, this course will be renumbered as EDU 6130.

Intended for students who want to improve their understanding of how people learn a second/foreign language and develop an approach to language teaching that is theoretically sound. Research findings from selected areas of second-language acquisition (that is, the role of the first language, the nature of learners’ interlanguage, learning strategies, individual differences, and the role of the environment) serve as a point of departure to discuss implications for language teaching. Explores current pedagogical proposals (task-based approach, whole-language approach, or processing instruction approach) and provides hands-on experience in the design of teaching materials that are consistent with the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning.

Semester course equivalent ED G127. Prerequisite: ED 3104 or ED G104 Learning and Accomplished Practice.
