EDU 290 - Introduction to English/Language Arts Education

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Education Foundation

Description:

The first of three pedagogy courses in the major, EDU 290: Introduction to English Language Arts Education, introduces pre-service English teachers to the theory and practice of teaching English language arts in the secondary schools. The special focus of the course--teaching writing--provides opportunities for students to study composition and curriculum theory, engage in effective, hands-on, literacy practices in partnered secondary classrooms, and write practical lesson and unit plans that address NCTE standards for process writing, multimodal composition, grammar and rhetoric, language acquisition, diversity, differentiation, assessment, and reflection. This course establishes the foundation required for students to be successful in the two pedagogy courses that follow, and more broadly, in their own teaching practice as future educators.
