Community Service and Language, Education

3 credits 

Fall/Winter

The overall theme of this service-learning course is "Language and Community," with three modules.

  1. What - Understanding the community context (assisting in your ESL site placement as a service-learner)
  2. How -  Community-building through communicative language teaching (ESL teaching methods and techniques)
  3. Special Issues -  Exploring language learning issues that have arisen in placements in more detail

A service-learning approach enables students to prepare for and reflect on their experiential practice in a local ESL classroom or tutoring program.
