Courses

LIN100 Language & Culture

LIN100 Lan­guage & Cul­ture

This course will in­tro­duce the stu­dent to the study of lan­guage in mul­ti­cul­tural urban set­tings. The course will in­tro­duce re­lated top­ics, such as bilin­gual/bidi­alec­tal fam­i­lies and bilin­gual ed­u­ca­tion, lan­guage and gen­der, lit­er­acy in a chang­ing, tech­no­log­i­cal so­ci­ety, child lan­guage ac­qui­si­tion, and dif­fer­ent di­alects and reg­is­ters of Eng­lish. The read­ings will draw on works in lin­guis­tics, lit­er­a­ture and re­lated fields. Stu­dents will work on crit­i­cal read­ing and pro­duce writ­ing based on the read­ings in con­nec­tion with their own ex­pe­ri­ences and back­grounds.

First Year Experience (FYE) Teaching Resources for Faculty

First Year Ex­pe­ri­ence (FYE) Teach­ing Re­sources for Fac­ulty

How can we con­tribute to stu­dent suc­cess–suc­cess not only aca­d­e­mic, but also emo­tional and so­cial–dur­ing their time at BMCC? Stu­dents’ first year ex­pe­ri­ence is es­pe­cially im­por­tant in de­vel­op­ing and nour­ish­ing their sense of pur­pose and be­long­ing, their love of learn­ing, ac­cess to ser­vices and re­sources, as well as stu­dents’ ex­plo­ration of ca­reer paths and cit­i­zen­ship. This is the goal of FYE-em­bed­ded courses, and here is a re­source site with rel­e­vant ma­te­ri­als for fac­ulty. We wel­come con­tri­bu­tions.
