ED 781 - Methodology for Mandarin Language Instruction in Dual Language Immersion

3 Credit(s)

This course will focus on the theory and practical applications of strategies in primary language and second language instruction, particularly for a bilingual (dual language immersion) setting. Candidates will learn about language forms and functions as well as the interrelatedness among the four domains of language (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Literacy development and content area instruction will be emphasized with lesson plan design tied to language and content standards, and measured with various assessments. Students will learn how to access and evaluate primary language literature and other resources, and will gain competency in the integration and use of resources in Mandarin for the bilingual classroom. While this class is conducted in English with the option for students to engage in group activities in Mandarin, fluency and literacy in Mandarin is required. Twenty-five (25) hours of practicum fieldwork experiences in a bilingual/dual language immersion classroom is also required.
