This course will allow pre-service teachers to deepen their knowledge and applications of literacy-related instructional approaches, particularly for elementary Cycles 2 and 3. It prepares the candidates to plan and design learning that leads students to work critically with all kinds of print, digital texts and multimodal sources, contributing to the development of their language arts competencies. Pre-service teachers will explore: the role of Language Arts in helping learners develop a critical understanding of the world, how to apply literacy practices in the classroom (including new literacies, multiliteracies, critical literacies, and so on) to support examination of concepts across the curriculum, and application of new trends and appropriate assessment tools relevant to literacy practice across subject areas.
