Community-Based Language Learning

Course Description

The Community-Based English Language Learning course is required for students who are new participants in the Conversation Tree: Community-Based Language Partnerships (formerly the SALSA Program). The course provides a curriculum-based service-learning experience built upon a community-identified need for English language instruction and aligns with the university's mission of contributing to the cultural and social well-being of the community. Topics include demographic trends in the United States and New Jersey; an introduction to second-language learning theory and practice; and the meanings of civic engagement, community, and citizenship in a multicultural society. The course provides opportunities to work with adult English language learners at a community center and to discuss these experiences, connecting practice to scholarly research. Students must be admitted via an application process.
