Description

This course is designed to expose students to issues pertaining to the historical and theoretical foundations of curriculum studies in general, and of the bilingual curriculum in particular. The course briefly traces the history of curriculum studies, and then delves into the theory, application, design, development and implementation of bilingual curricula. Through the study of pertinent literature in applied linguistics and education, students develop a theoretical and practical framework and become familiar with the processes of bilingual education curricular development. Students examine what schools currently teach to language learners, consider what they should teach, and reflect on who should make these decisions. In doing so, they uncover the beliefs, values, and attitudes that are transmitted in bilingual classrooms.
