EDU 3135 - Language and Culture (3)
This course is designed to address the importance of language and how it is inextricably bound to identity, both as an instrumental tool for communication and as a carrier of cultural values and attitudes. This course focuses on the socio-cultural and linguistic aspects that shape and influence students’ identity. This course helps develop: 1) an awareness and sensitivity to work effectively with students with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and 2) a commitment to intervene in social injustice as a means to closing the achievement gap. Therefore, this course will include a strong emphasis of the content on cultural and linguistic diversity to serve the needs of students whose first language is not English and who are from diverse cultural backgrounds.
