EDU 358 - Biliteracy: Theory and Methods

4 Hour(s)
This course will prepare pre-service teachers to connect critical theories of biliteracy and dynamic language use to their classroom literacy practices. The course will be conducted bilingually, incorporating both Spanish and English, and translanguaging in the texts, discussions, activities, and assignments. The course begins with an exploration of literacies in bilingual homes and schools, and their implications for developing biliteracy in a school-based literacy block. Then we will investigate new technologies and multimodal literacies to support multilingual students’ learning.
