Fall 2010
Course Description：
Bilingualism can be studied from the perspectives of language science, society, politics, and/or education. In this course, students will learn about issues concerning bilingualism and their relationships to educational policies. Recent theories will be presented with their strength and limitations, which will encourage students to consider the issues from their own perspectives. Topics include definitions of bilingualism, bilingualism and biliteracy, immersion classrooms, and the politics of bilingualism. There will be short written assignments throughout the semester (30%). Each student will choose a topic related to the content of the textbook and conduct research. The results of the survey will be presented in an oral presentation (30%) and the final paper (30%). Students are expected to ask questions and contribute their thoughts in classroom discussions (10%). A strict attendance policy will be enforced; virtually no consideration is given to absences caused by extracurricular activities.
