3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered in the Fall. Also offered evenings.

The approach in this course for the Initial Licensure Track provides a holistic framework for teaching secondary English emphasizing the interrelatedness of all language abilities: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We experiment with and evaluate a variety of teaching strategies for creating responsive, reflective, and responsible readers, writers, and speakers as well as methods for the assessment of student performance. A prepracticum is required.

Prerequisite(s): ENGL 2860 and ENGL 4700 or equivalent and a 2.75 overall GPA and 3.0 in biology, Communication/Literacy MTEL and Subject Area Exam.
