EDEL 413 - Teaching Language and Literacy in Multilingual Classrooms
This course is designed to help prepare teachers to develop learner's English language and literacies in elementary classrooms, particularly in classrooms where there are children from homes where standard English may not be the first language or dialect. Students will be asked to extend their knowledge of language and literacy instruction to consider the sociolinguistic diversity they will find in contemporary classrooms. Prerequisite: EDEL 305.
