LST 301 - Language, Literacy, and Culture

(DEIB) Literacy is more than the ability to read and write; it is a culturally-embedded practice imbued with social and political values that are highly contested. This course provides a broad foundation in language and literacy development grounded in socio-cultural, sociolinguistic, and socio-cognitive theories. Through story, research, and theoretical readings, students will explore how language practices are connected to identity, social and cultural influences, learning, technology, and academic disciplines. Course Codes: BHMR. This course is required for all students in inclusive education programs, with minimum grade “C” or higher; it is also recommended for juniors and seniors in Community Youth Development, or related fields.
