This course can be used towards the Instructional Dimensions major or minor requirements.
The three major East Asian languages - Chinese, Japanese, and Korean - are becoming increasingly popular in American K-16 schools. EAS 580 is for graduate students who wish to become language educators and/or specialists in one of these languages. The first half of the semester focuses on linguistic issues and pedagogical challenges specific to teaching the three East Asian languages (e.g., tones and syllabic features, writing systems), and then the course continues with sociocultural and sociopolitical dimensions of East Asian language teaching.
