Additional Course Details:

Welcome to English 726/892S! In this course, we'll think about how to integrate teaching literature and literacy with other skills like writing, composing multimedia, speaking, listening, and viewing. We will focus on reading and interpreting a wide variety of literatures (including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic narrative, and drama), although it is difficult and even undesireable to attempt to separate literacy skills and practices from each other.

We’ll learn about how English teachers meet the needs and interests of a richly varied population of students. We will review standards systems for English teaching, construct and critique teaching documents, and discuss and apply the work of master literacy teachers and theorists.

Working collaboratively, we will examine and compare philosophies of English teaching and learning, and we will develop approaches to writing and literacy instruction. We will discuss theoretical, pedagogical, and practical ideas for teaching writing in large and small groups, engage in reading and composition exercises, produce and practice instructional activities and assessments, and evaluate teaching approaches. Successfully completing this course (which fits together with English 725) will help you recognize and affirm literacy skills and practices, and to consider how they can help your future students read, comprehend, describe, analyze, and evaluate various texts.

You are encouraged to enroll in the practicum lab, Engl 726L (this course's 2-credit co-requisite), if you would like to build up your experience in classroom teaching or research.

This course is open to all students with Junior or Senior status. It is required for all English Teaching majors.

Additional Course Details:

Spring 2025 Special Topic: Digital Literacies

Even before COVID upended educational and social systems, definitions of literacy, language, literature, and even communication had grown contested. Our digital age has questioned, synthesized, and reframed traditional understandings of how we learn and teach English. Critical reading/viewing, synthesis, content curation for specialized audiences, and composing in partnership with AI tools are skills that have rapidly become anchors in our newly information-rich society — but all of them are complicated when misinformation, disinformation, and algorithmically-generated content are also rampant. What do these new communication patterns mean for our ways of life and connections with others? What do they mean for the study and teaching of English?

In this course, we will examine questions including:

What does it mean to become literate in the 21st century? How do researchers and teachers think about technology-mediated literacies, cultures, and intelligences?
How are the processes and products of digital media and digital cultures changing what it means to read, write, create, and communicate?
What, if anything, is different about learning and participation in person vs/ in digital media and cultures? Are there differences that are specific to social media cultures?
Right now, what are the elements of digital literacy that students and teachers of English need? What about elements of digital pedagogies (ways of teaching)?

This course is the required CAPSTONE for English Teaching majors. Speak to your advisor about readiness for Capstone coursework.

This course may be taken as an upper-level Elective by English majors following degree requirements activated in Fall 2023.

This course may be taken for CAPSTONE credit by English Majors following degree requirements in place prior to Fall 2023. Pick up a Capstone Declaration Form in the main English Dept office (HS 230F) if interested.
