EDUC 670 - Language Acquisition & Development

3 Credits

Participants will examine the structure of the English language, including its lexical, morphological, syntactic, and phonological components. The process of first and second language acquisition will be studied in support of the literacy development of native English speakers and of English Language Learners (ELLs) at different stages of second language acquisition. Teachers will learn to assist ELLs in communicating verbally and nonverbally. Registrants will also examine best practices to facilitate the acquisition of English and promote the social and academic adjustment of all learners. (Three credits; Summer; Sillivan, DesJardin.)
