Teaching Reading and Writing to Intermediate and Advanced Learners of English (EDUC 655) – This course analyzes theories, research, and approaches to teaching writing to second-language learners at the intermediate and advanced level. Included are discussions of academic, professional and creative writing; cultural contrasts in rhetorical styles and tradition; and the use of fanfiction writing projects. It also incorporates materials developed as part of the FanTALES project for the teaching of multilingual interactive digital storytelling.

Second Language Acquisition (EDUC 670) -This course covers current theories of how second language is learned, providing participants a greater understanding of the processes involved in language acquisition and how English language learners’ (ELL’s) personal characteristics influence this process. In addition to this theoretical foundation, this class also incorporates a virtual exchange with partner classes at Malmö University in Sweden and University of Talca in Chile with a focus on multilingualism.  This class is taught in an asynchronous online format with optional one hour synchronous online mentoring sessions offered weekly.
