Curriculum Design

How can you design learning experiences that build language proficiency while also engaging students intellectually? How can you relate curriculum to students’ lives? In this fully asynchronous course, you will explore key knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with the multiple stages of language curriculum design. Activities include readings, viewings, discussion boards, peer reviews, and design tasks. By the end of the course, you will be able to construct needs assessment instruments, fashion learning goals, articulate performance tasks, and generate ideas for lesson plans and modules in modalities evoked in specific contexts (e.g., synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid). You will demonstrate your learning in a complete thematic unit plan that follows a backward design approach and is shaped by evidence reflecting students’ needs and interests. Those studying toward the online MA TESOL will need to complete this course in addition to the other seven core courses before enrolling in the two capstone courses.
