SEC 521 Methods of Teaching Foreign Language in the Secondary School

This course will focus on effective instructional strategies to foster development of foreign language proficiency areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Emphasis will be placed on methods that develop communicative competencies in contextual, functional language learning situations that provide opportunities for curriculum-embedded assessment. Teacher candidates will consider and develop methods for the integration of literacy, technologies, service learning, and inclusion strategies into instructional activities. Appropriate classroom accommodations and modifications for pupils with the full range of abilities are examined through course work and addressed in field experiences. A 20-hour field experience is required. Students must obtain fingerprint clearance prior to beginning field experiences. Prerequisite: SEC 515. Spring.
