All students will take a mandatory end-of-course test. Successful completion of the course depends on attaining a passing score on this test. | Counseling & Spec Populations |
ENSL | 5300 | 3 | ESL Curriculum and Assessment | This course focuses on curriculum and assessment for ESL education. Course readings, assignments and class discussions will constitute guides to thinking about the relationships among standards, lesson planning and assessment. A key component of the course is to discuss issues and concepts of assessment and think about how Engish language teachers' oral, reading and writing development is assessed using as guidelines the Texas English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) or similar standards from another state. The course also provides a general background in teaching and assessing ESL-Special Education students. | Counseling & Spec Populations |
ENSL | 5301 | 3 | Mthds & Apprchs in Teachng ESL | This course introduces the methods and approaches for providing language and content instruction to English Language Learners (ELLs). The course also reviews types of ESL programs, relevant federal and state learning standards, socio-cultural factors affecting ELLs, and teaching strategies, classroom management techniques and instructional tools that support Ells' learning and adjustment in U.S. schools. The goal of the course is not to provide simplistic recipes for instruction, nor does it argue for a singular approach or method. Instead, the course seeks to engender a critical awareness of the complexity of teaching ELLs and to encourage an understanding of the primary literature that informs ESL instruction. Offered: Other | Counseling & Spec Populations |
ENSL | 5302 | 3 | Literacy for Eng Lang Learners | This course focuses on the teaching of what have traditionally been called language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). Rather than separating language instruction into discrete skills, this course emphasizes the integration of all language skills in teaching literacy. Strategies and techniques for effective literacy instruction for English language learners (ELLs) are presented and applied, and the relationship among schooling, literacy, and social and cultural life are explored. Additionally, strategies for increasing family and community involvement to support English language learners' literacy learning are addressed. Offered: Other | Counseling & Spec Populations |
ENSL | 5303 | 3 | Understanding Lang & Lang Lrng | This course covers the nature of language and its basic concepts (e.g., phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon, semantics, discourse, pragmatics), the functions and registers of English language (e.g., social versus academic language), and the patterns and conventions of written and spoken English. It introduces the theories, concepts and research related to first and second language acquisition/learning, explores the specific features of the English language (grammar) and how those features function as a system, and addresses the current issues and challenges concerning the role of grammar in language teaching. Offered: Other | Counseling & Spec Populations |
ENSL | 5304 | 3 | Field Experience | In what many have called "post-methods-era," this course offers practical strategies which students can draw on to generate their own situation-specific, need-based classroom techniques. As a key component of this course, students will participate in field experiences of observation which may occur in settings such as K-12 schools, charter schools, private schools, community centers, or English language programs of universities/colleges. This observation experience stresses the connection between theory and practice and the value of contextualized accounts of what happens in real classrooms. The course lectures and discussions will also encourage studnets to think about the course content in relation to the complexities and contextual layers of teachers' work. At the end of this course, the instructor will complete complete an "End of Program Assessment" evaluation for each student assessing dispositions of the students. The rubric designed for this evaluation lists dispositions that align with NCATE standards as well as 四虎影视's framework for teacher preparation. | Counseling & Spec Populations |

PHIL | 1330 | 3 | Arts and Ideas | This course invilces a survey of the various arts - visual, literary, musical - in relation to movements that define and shape the arts in distinctive form or style at various times and various epochs. In relation to this, the course will examine the possible ways in which these movements are generated by ideas - aesthetic, metaphysical, but also scientific, political and ethical - that come to dominate a specific period. Movements and styles, to be explained, include the Classical Greece, Roman, Byzantine, Gothic, Florentine Renaissance, Roman Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Early Modernism, Abstract Expressionism and Postmodernism. In this way, students will begin to understand the creative arts as well as the ways in which the arts themselves help to form and transmit ideas. By exposing students to the ways in which ideas are central to the arts, students should be able to understand how the arts involve processes both of exploration and communication, so that the arts take their place rightfully at the center of the pursuit of rationality, and therefore at the center of what we call civilization. | English and Modern Languages |
