EDC 575 (Section 4): Modern Education Problems – Family and Community Literacy.
Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30-6:30pm
This course is being taught in conjunction with the expanded UK Literacy Clinic, which now serves both children and adults and includes an additional ESL focus. The focus of this course is on family literacy, community literacy and ESL programs, learning techniques for teaching literacy and English as a new language in family/community settings, as well as working with parents and other adults who may have limited literacy and/or limited English development. The course includes a significant practical experience, as students will work with adult/family clients in the UK literacy clinic. Students will get supervised hands-on experience as they practice new teaching techniques with adult learners. Students will meet as a class for the first hour and then will be assigned to adult learners in our clinic (either individually or in small groups) for the second hour.
