Practicum in Teaching World Languages in K-12 Schools

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course provides opportunities to observe, participate and teach in K-12 world language school settings. It is taken simultaneously with WLED 6370 where connections will be made between the content of the two courses. The WLED 637I practicum progressively involves students in the culture of a school, the individual classroom, and teaching. Activities are specifically designed to bring attention to the overlap between the courses and focus on developing capacities to contribute to the contexts of school and classrooms in which you are working. The trajectory of this work includes creating activities and lessons, implementing some of those plans and ideas and ultimately reflecting on teaching and field observations. This course serves as a rich site for discussion and connection of developing pedagogy and practices. [3]
