ENG709-710 – Seminar in Teaching Integrated Reading & Writing (IRW)
This course explores the integration of reading and writing from both a theoretical and pedagogical perspective. Students will: 1) survey major theories of reading and writing as well as contemporary innovations in teaching reading and writing as an integrated “composing” process; 2) investigate and review recent research examining the relationship between reading and writing; 3) put learning about the relationship of reading and writing into practice by evaluating and designing integrated reading/writing curricula and establishing criteria for successful classroom practice; and 4) rely tutorial and observational experiences and student writing to provide concrete underpinnings for theoretical and pedagogical issues.
