LL 316 - Teaching and Learning Languages and Cultural Expression at Home and Abroad (4)

Students will consider and practice the art of teaching and learning languages. This class will provide a foundation in the basics of languages and cultural expression to those interested in teaching or tutoring languages abroad, teaching their native language in the United States, crafting a self-study of a foreign language, or simply pondering the experience of humans as multi-language learners. Common beliefs and principles around learning language and cultural expression will be explored. Using an active and experiential approach, students will consider the ways in which learners acquire a second language, and experiment through peer-teaching the principles, methods, and practices that are rooted in second language acquisition research. Every other year.
