ESL 5317 - Literacy Skills Development in ESL

Credits: 3
The course examines the psycholinguistic bases of the reading process in ESL. The focus of the course will be on reading as a skill and the role of the teacher of English in assisting speakers of other languages in developing this skill. Special emphasis will be on developing a series of skills like word recognition, analysis of word parts, syllabication, understanding content word meaning and function word meaning, development of reading habits both reading for inference and recreational reading, and the importance of building vocabulary and reading instructions. A variety of texts will be used.
