“Immersion-Focused Linguistics Scholarship for Humanities Pedagogy”
Proposal abstract :
My project investigates the intersection of linguistics, neuroscience and pedagogy, focused on recent emphasis in language pedagogy on immersion-based teaching. My direct goal is to learn about this emphasis and begin to translate and apply it outside language instruction into humanities instruction more broadly. I will do this in three steps: study of core articles and books in linguistics, neuroscience and pedagogy with immersion-pedagogy as a primary topic, development of pedagogical modules for use in a first year religious studies course, and implementation of and assessment of these modules in Fall 2023 courses.
