Students also explore the factors that enable or hinder language learning and whether bilinguals are smarter. These are just some of the fascinating issues addressed in the course that combines study of theory, fieldwork-based analysis of learner language, and pedagogical considerations, including a focus on both English and World Langauge learners.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1702\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash-1280x851.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/clarissa-watson-jAebodq7oxk-unsplash-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-228\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_1 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Course Content<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_gutters2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Rationale<\/h3>\n<p>From my original proposal: This course delves into the ways in which children and adults learn a second language. In applied linguistics, there is a high chance of working with individuals who are speaking English as a second language. This course provides a background in the most effective methods to help those individuals as well as ways to improve your own second language, touching on several of my research questions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Lesson Plan<\/h3>\n<p>This assignment was to create a lesson plan, using the Education department template, for a second language instructional session. For the purposes of this assignment, I used a lesson I gave to a college-level student I was tutoring through the Five College Center for World Languages. The link below contains the full lesson plan informed by language acquisition theory and class readings, which I actually carried out with my student.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/ED-250-Lesson-Plan-Helen-White.docx.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Lesson Plan<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Literature Review<\/h3>\n<p>This assignment was to pick a subject in the academic area of second language acquisition and to examine modern scholarship on the subject, comparing different voices on the subject. This project consisted of two components: one was a longer literature review paper, and the other was a presentation of the same material given for the class. Linked below are both portions of the assignment, the paper and the slides for my presentation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_1 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Pienemann-final-lit-review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Lit Review<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_2_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_2 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Final-lit-review-presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Presentation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>One of the major misconceptions I had prior to taking this course was that second language acquisition is essentially impossible after the teenage years, and that the adult brain has changed too much to be able to meaningfully retain a new language long-term. However, this course proved that this was incorrect, and that adult second language acquisition is quite possible. I also learned a lot about the motivations behind learning language and how much these influence language learning. Language acquisition theory is quite important to the study of speech pathology, and I took away much of the information about how to promote language learning presented in this course.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_8  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>This course was how I became involved with the Language in Media internship under Dr. Jill Watson. The project involved examining language in popular media sources surrounding topics about BIPOC and indigenous peoples. Additionally, the lesson plan I submitted for this course was for an actual job I had at the time. More information about both experiences can be found on the page below.<\/p>\n<p>This course also connected with other education courses I took in its focus on students who are English learners, especially EDUC 245 (Teaching and Learning English Grammar) and EDUC 270 (Exploring Teaching). More information on these courses, which were not explicitly included in my individual major courseload, can be found below.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_3 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/internships-grants-employment-and-research\/\">Internships, Grants, Employment, and Research<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_4_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_4 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/courses\/other-courses\/\">Other Courses<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_2 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_divider et_pb_divider_1 et_pb_space\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_column_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4154,"featured_media":0,"parent":66,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-75","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4154"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":418,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75\/revisions\/418"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
