COURSE OVERVIEW: This on-line graduate credit course, offered through
Continuing Education at the University of Corado-Boulder this summer, will
provide participants with an understanding of language-based learning
disabilities and will offer instruction in the principles and skills to develop
modified foreign language instruction to address students' disabilities. (See
detailed list of course objectives below.)
INSTRUCTORS: Jean Bouchard,
M.A., CCC-SLP (Director of the Modified Foreign Language Program, CU-Boulder)
and Anne Becher, M.A. (Coordinator of the Beginning Spanish One course and
Secondary Spanish Teaching Certificate Advisor, Department of Spanish and
Portuguese, CU-Boulder)
COURSE MEETING DATES: The course will be offered
during CU-Boulder's Summer Session C, May 31 - July 22. It is entirely on-line,
with instruction and interaction planned for about 6 hours per week; homework
and preparation will require additional work outside of these 6 hours. Although
course "meetings" will not be "synchronous" (i.e. students will not all need to
be on-line at exactly the same time), there will be strict twice-weekly
deadlines for participation in course discussions and submission of class work.
(Some flexibility might be possible to accommodate students' vacation
schedules; consult the instructors for more information or
permission.)
COST OF MATRICULATION: $1,488. If you register before
4/22/11, your cost is $1,149. Scholarship funds are available based on need.
For scholarship consideration, you will need to submit a statement of need with
your application.
