EDUC 572 Language and Cultural Issues in Bilingual Education
This course examines three main areas: bilingual language development in young children; acculturation and understanding of cultural differences to support appropriate differentiation of linguistic differences from language-based or other disabilities; and curriculum planning to incorporate culturally appropriate curriculum to promote positive cultural identity. The course incorporates hands-on strategies in addition to lectures in order to acquire knowledge and demonstrate skills in working in multi-cultural educational settings.
