Spring 2024 Special Topic: Teaching Media & Information Literacy

A 2022 Pew Research Center study shows that “97% of teens say they use the internet daily,” and almost half report being online “almost constantly.”  While these statistics offer a glimpse of social media use in particular, they nevertheless provide a starting point for thinking about the media and information landscape students encounter on a daily basis. 

In this class, we will consider how to navigate a world of information and media, developing approaches to media and information literacy as well as strategies for their teaching.  Members of the class will read, discuss, and produce work in varied formats, thinking about how to foster responsible consumers and creators of media and information. 

This course satisfies the Capstone requirement for ENGLISH TEACHING majors. 

In Spring 2024 this course will satisfy a DH "Digital Humanities" requirement for ENGL:TBD majors. 

This course may be taken for Capstone credit by general ENGLISH majors following requirement guidelines in place prior to Fall 2023, pending Instructor approval. Fill out a Capstone Declaration form (available in the main English office,  Ham Smith 230F) if you wish to declare it as Capstone.

Spring 2024 Special Topic: Introduction to Classroom Research in TESOL

This course provides an overview of research in TESOL for teachers of multilingual students, novice educational researchers, and readers of published research. We will explore a number of broad areas and issues in the field of TESOL along with the various research approaches and methodologies that are used to study them. Students in this course will join an engaging community of learners from various academic backgrounds who are passionate about language learning and teaching. Pre-service teachers may be interested in learning how to conduct practitioner research in their future classrooms, while graduate students may be looking to prepare themselves to write a thesis in TESOL/applied linguistics or in other related fields. The course will also benefit students with a general interest in language learning and teaching who would like to further explore their interests through the examination of TESOL research.

Throughout the course of the semester, we will examine current topics and issues in TESOL: academic literacy, multilingual student and teacher identity, language testing and assessment, language classroom interaction, and corrective feedback. These and/or other topics will be examined by critically reading, analyzing, and responding to primary and secondary research published in peer-reviewed journals and edited collections. This will introduce students to a range of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies in the field. There will also be opportunities for hands-on practice with research instruments, techniques, and sources (e.g., interviews, observations, online surveys, introspective verbal reports) as well as some basic quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Through these activities, students will become familiar with the life cycle of research, from articulating research questions to reporting on research results. Students will also learn about the history of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and its role in supporting ethical human research practices. By the end of this course, students should be able to describe the role of research in the field of TESOL and identify major research paradigms and study designs. In addition, students will come away with a better understanding of the general principles and procedures of conducting research, sharpen their critical thinking skills, and develop a basic level of research literacy needed to become intelligent readers, critics, and consumers of published research.

This course may be taken for Capstone credit by general ENGLISH majors following requirement guidelines in place prior to Fall 2023. Fill out a Capstone Declaration form (available in the main English office,  Ham Smith 230F) if you wish to declare it as Capstone.

Additional Course Details: 

Women who behave badly in early drama take murderous revenge on their betrayers; manipulate their husbands; defy the wishes of their families; and deceive their communities. They also strive to choose their own paths in life, by whatever means they can, sometimes cutting truly frightening figures, sometimes showing admirable strength and fortitude. 

Reading and viewing a variety of tragedies and comedies, including Euripides's Medea, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Aristophanes's Lysistrata and Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, we will scrutinize these women's actions and place them in their historical and social contexts. By examining women's roles in Ancient Greece, Roman Italy, and Renaissance and Restoration England, we will gain a sense of how these female characters' behaviors on the stage aligned with expectations in society at the time. What did it mean to society and to audiences of drama for a woman to choose her own marriage partner, or for her to reject the duties of a wife and daughter? And how do these women's dramatic actions help us understand our own actions more fully? 

 This course fulfills the pre-1800 requirement and the Capstone requirements for the Literary Studies major; it fulfills the Capstone requirement for English Teaching.
