EDU-109 Cross-Cultural Studies

This course focuses on the relationship among culture, classroom practices and policy, and how this relationship influences the education of English language learners. Students will examine their own culture and their cultural assumptions and biases and how those influence teaching and learning in the classroom. Issues of equity, access and crosscultural understandings are examined as well.  Methods of how to incorporate culture into the ESL classroom will be discussed. A clinical component of 10 hours in a center or school setting with bilingual or multilingual students is required. Fee is required. (3 contact hours)
