Rationale for
Changes or
Exceptions:

New: THE TITLE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS COURSE HAVE CHANGED TO MORE ACCURATELY REFLECT THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE COURSE AS WELL AS THE UNDERSTANDING OF LITERACY IN SOCIETY. LITERACY AND LANGUAGE EDUCATION CONSIDERS THE MANNER IN WHICH CHILDREN DEVELOP LANGUAGE AND THE ENVIRONMENTS AND PRACTICES IN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOMS THAT SUPPORT LITERACY AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. SOCIAL PRACTICES OF READING AND WRITING ARE AFFECTED BY SOCIOCULTURAL AS WELL AS SOCIOLINGUISTIC FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE MEANING AND CONTEXT. SUCH CONSIDERATIONS AFFECT THE MANNER IN WHICH CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT TO READ AND WRITE.
