LIT 311 - Language and Literacy Development for All Learners

The emphasis in this course is teaching literacy to all elementary school language learners across all content areas. This course is based on the premise that reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing are integral components of language processing and literacy. It uses these understandings to teach both the content and process of language acquisition and literacy development. Principles and structures of language are taught through the process of language use. That is, language skills are taught and modeled in context, then applied to the teaching of language arts in the elementary school.
