EDC 575 (section 1): Adult Literacy and ESL (Mon & Weds, 4:30-6:30)
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 techniques for teaching literacy and English as a new language to adults in family/community settings, working with parents and other adults who may have limited literacy and/or limited English development, as well as teaching ESL and adult literacy in family literacy, community literacy and ESL programs. 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Kristen Perry at kristen.perry@uky.edu or 859-257-3836.
Please pass this announcement on to any students who may be interested in this course.
