TESL 408

This course explores how principles of instructed applied linguistics inform second and additional language teaching across K–12 and adult educational contexts. Students examine grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, pragmatics, and discourse, with attention to linguistic foundations that support literacy development across age groups, including phonological and phonemic awareness. The course emphasizes research-informed analysis of language teaching practices rather than training in specific instructional programs. -- Prerequisite -- 60-university-level credits or permission of the Adult Education department. -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- None.
