SPAN 410 Methods of Tchg For Language
This course is designed to prepare future Spanish teachers in the K-12 schools. The course is organized around the Standards for Foreign Language Learning, commonly referred to as the Five C's: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Students will learn about current theoretical bases for second-language acquisition and how theory informs classroom practice. The course does not promote a particular methodology but rather presents principles of learning from which teachers can draw as they make decisions about instruction. Prerequisite: SPAN 202 or equivalent.
