CIEP 507  Language Demands and Development in Disciplinary Classrooms  (3 Credit Hours)  
Everything we do in classrooms and schools requires language, yet the nuances and complexities of language are rarely explored in educator-preparation programs. As the population diversifies and more students come to schools with competencies in languages other than English, teachers must understand how language works so that they can support students in developing language spanning grades and disciplines. In this course, teachers will explore the language demands within and across academic disciplines and enact scaffolds to support multilingual students' language development by attending to these demands. Course understandings and related pedagogical practices emphasize the value of students' multilingual repertoires and competencies with foci on building metalinguistic awareness and encouraging translanguaging with languages and language varieties. Pedagogical practices will focus primarily on building classroom environments to support students' language development, including contextual features, scaffolds, and procedures.
Participants will: Describe the role of language(s) in teaching and learning, including how it develops; Distinguish the components of language (eg, phonology, morphology, syntax); Apply knowledge of language components in support of language development; Describe the language functions, features, and domains of disciplinary classrooms; Apply knowledge of language demands to support students' language development; Explain the interplay of home and school languages (eg, metalinguistic awareness); Apply knowledge of metalinguistic awareness in support of language development

CIEP 508  Social Justice for Multilingual Learners  (3 Credit Hours)  
This course introduces educators to foundational principles and practices for promoting social justice and educational equity while teaching multilingual learners in today's classrooms. A central component to teaching for social justice for students labeled as English learners (ELs), this course prompts educators to deconstruct their identities, experiences, and perspectives on cultural and linguistic diversity as a means to recognize and deconstruct language ideologies, deficit-based perspectives, personal biases, and institutionally driven assumptions. Framed by larger sociolinguistic and sociopolitical themes in the field of EL/bilingual education, educators explore students' diversity in their classrooms and schools and reflect upon current practice with that lens. Participants then draw from the literature to develop personal philosophy statements for serving multilingual learners with goals for their own professional learning.
Participants will: Discern the central and active role of teachers as language policy actors and language decision makers in classrooms, schools, and communities; Reflect upon previous experiences with and perspectives on language learners, language education, and language diversity; Probe the role of language ideologies in institutional practices in education as a means to examine and deconstruct biases and assumptions; Explore the diversity of classrooms, schools, and communities, including cultural, linguistic, familial, academic, social, emotional, behavioral, and sociopolitical factors; Analyze historical and current practices in schools for multilingual students in line with research and theory of supporting and promoting equity for multilingual students; Define personal philosophies and professional goals for teaching multilingual students

CIEP 509  Literacy Teaching for Bilingual & Multilingual Students  (3 Credit Hours)  
Literacy is widely seen as one of the most important skills that children need in order to be successful in school and beyond, however the teaching of reading and writing are largely still approached from a monolingual paradigm even though the vast majority of classrooms have students who speak (and are often literate to varied degrees in that language) in at least one other language beyond the language of instruction. Therefore, it is essential that educators acquire the knowledge and skills to consider the development of literacy from a broader, less restrictive linguistic paradigm in order to engage and effectively teach reading and writing to their students who are bi/multilingual. Regardless of teaching context (e.g., grade level; bilingual or monolingual instructional setting, etc.) educators in this course are supported to move away from a monolingual paradigm in relation to literacy development in order to make strong and effective use of their students' literacy knowledge across languages. Participants will apply new learning to implement strategies (such as contrastive analysis, reading and writing opportunities in both languages, etc.) that supports the development and transference of literacy learning across languages.
Participants will: Explain the relationships between oral language and literacy development and first and second literacy acquisition; Describe the relationships between literacy development, identity and motivation; Describe the different paths to literacy development specifically in relation to oracy and literacy in another language; Identify the ways in which knowledge of different orthographic systems can be beneficial to learning a new one; Apply knowledge of different orthographic systems to support students' literacy development through teaching strategies such as contrastive analysis; Apply knowledge of bilingualism to support students' literacy development across languages; Design strategies for teaching reading and writing that build on students' linguistic and cultural funds of knowledge; Identify the components of knowledge needed to become literate in another language and distinguish between those aspects of literacy that are common across all languages and those that are unique to certain languages; Create classroom environments and materials that support students' bi- or multilingual literacies and engage them in shared literacy events
