COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is intended for student teachers and immersion teachers who wish to examine ways of integrating language

rich learning activities through the various areas of the curriculum they teach and facilitate. Participants will

examine the relationship between acquiring a second language and the content area knowledge, skills and attitudes.

They will have the opportunity to critically examine recent literature. Teachers will then design learning experiences

with outcomes that reflect a blend of the curriculum goals for the language and content.

All activities and assignments are embedded in a communicative competence theory of second language acquisition and a

socio-constructivist perspective of immersion education. Students will have the opportunity to put theories into practice

during the seminar activities and through their assignments.

OBJECTIVES

• design and implement learning experiences in an immersion setting that reflect an understanding of current theories of

second language acquisitions;

• critically examine the relationship between acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes and the development of the

• design and implement learning experiences that respect the pedagogies of the various content areas and provide

multiple opportunities for language acquisition;

• design evaluation tools that allow for detailed documentation of language development and content area learning.
