TLL 2702 - ADVANCED PRACTICUM IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Back to all TLL courses

This course prepares students to enact equitable and justice-oriented teaching practices that address local and global cultural contexts in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary World and Heritage Language Education school settings. Through a practice-based approach, students gain advanced understandings of home and target language cultures and the role they play in World and Heritage Language teaching. The course views culture as a key conceptual component for understanding: addresses the cultural traditions themselves; how structural, systemic responses to these diverse traditions create repressive conditions for students and teachers; and how cultural knowledge is used to shape liberatory systems. Students apply their knowledge of local and global cultural contexts to plan, teach, and reflect on their own world language teaching and to advocate for revisions of unjust and oppressive systems.
