Intro Social Data Analysis II

Corequisites: SOCI G4076 This course examines quantitative methods used in sociology. Students will need to have completed SOCI GR4074 before enrolling. The approach taken in this class is highly applied with an emphasis on developing practical skills for data analysis. We begin with a focus on linear models, discussing the regression model as a tool for data description and causal analysis. We then introduce generalized linear models and conclude by reviewing some special applied including weighting and missing data. Data analysis for the course will be conducted in Stata which is available for download from the department of Sociology.

Theory & Practice of Second Language Tea

Theory& Practice Lang Tea

This graduate seminar serves as an introduction to second language (SL) teaching for in-service instructors of language, and language and content courses. It highlights pedagogical principles, methodological strategies, and practical activities that are critical for new instructors teaching SL courses at the university level for the first time at Columbia University.

Students consider major theoretical constructs (culture, language, mind, metaphor, communication, context) and contemporary teaching approaches in the field of instructed second language acquisition (concept-based teaching, communicative language teaching, literacy-oriented approaches, task-project based learning). They will also engage with basic teaching techniques (lesson planning, use of the target language, technology integration, task design, grammar teaching, utilization of written and oral authentic materials in the classroom), reflective teaching practices (teachers as learners of teaching, dynamics of classroom communication, the role of teachers’ beliefs about pedagogical practices), and the design of testing and assessment measures (contextualized test design, portfolios, and grading criteria).

The main goal of the course is to connect critical pedagogy as well as sociocultural and cognitive theories with classroom practice through guest workshops, collaborative discussion, online forums, lesson plan design, observation of SL classrooms, peer feedback, and portfolio development.
