ED 3700 - Teaching Elementary Language Arts

(3)
Students receive both a theoretical and practical background in language learning and its connections to literacy acquisition in a language arts program. Particular emphasis is placed on integrating language arts into the total elementary school curriculum by examining the process of developing effective communication skills and integrating content areas. Students learn about language arts curriculum including the development of a unit of study that addresses the development of children’s language and thinking skills, written communication and grammar, listening and speaking skills, spelling and handwriting. Lesson plans, authentic student data-driven informal and formal assessments, differentiated learning activities, the integration of technology, and working with culturally diverse learners, including English Language Learners will also be a focus. This course requires non-credit field placement experience that provides for implementation and assessment of the student’s unit.

Prerequisite: ED 1340 .
