ENLE-54200 Cross-Cultural Studies in Literacy and English Language Learning

The impact of culture on society and the educational system, and the importance of culture in addressing the educational and social needs of immigrant students and English language learners (ELLs) are examined. The dual processes of acculturation and cultural conflict are explored as they relate to learning styles, academic, and behavioral expectations. Participants will develop strategies for designing culturally relevant and culturally sustaining learning opportunities to foster the academic success of diverse groups in a multi-language, multi-ethnic learning community.
