A Practical Approach to Second Language
Second Language Teaching
This graduate seminar serves as a continuation of SPPO GR6001 (“Theory and Practice of Second Language Teaching”) and it is intended for in-service instructors of language, and language and content courses at the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures at Columbia University. It focuses on the application in the second language (SL) classroom of the pedagogical principles reviewed in the previous semester, with emphasis on methodological approaches and applied techniques.
Students will be directly mentored regarding the classroom treatment and presentation of grammatical, lexical, socio-cultural, and pragmatic aspects of the language in the SL classroom. From a communicative approach and beyond, they will also continue to engage with basic teaching techniques such as lesson planning, use of the target language, technology integration, task design, and the use of written and oral authentic materials. They will learn practically how to promote the development of students’ abilities for literacy and critical thinking. Finally, they will be carefully guided through the actual design and implementation of testing and assessment measures for the course they are teaching. In this seminar, we will also analyze real and potential case scenarios that will/may arise in the classroom and we will consider tactics to resolve problems that typically occur. Reflective teaching practices (teachers as learners of teaching, dynamics of classroom communication, the role of teachers’ beliefs about pedagogical practices) will be revisited and rethought.

Summer: In this module, you'll explore the methods journalists use to gather and evaluate information. You'll learn how to think and behave as a journalist, how to conceive of journalistic story assignments, and how to report them quickly and accurately on deadline. You’ll learn how to gather original information first-hand and to combine it with contextual information that can be found online and elsewhere. You will be taught how to ensure that a story is true, both in the sense of getting the facts right and also by stating the implications fairly. You’ll also get some basic training in digital technologies such as photo, mobile video and audio that are essential parts of a modern journalist’s toolkit, and you’ll begin using them in the service of journalism, while thinking about ways to use social media to engage an audience for your work.
Fall: Deep, compelling stories are built on a foundation of solid research and reporting. The goal of this course is to inspire you to dig deep, to find multiple sources of information and to explore different ways of gathering, verifying and evaluating facts and putting them in context. This class also will challenge you to think critically about the questions that drive your work and introduce you to a wide range of research and verification tools. More specifically, you will learn how to:
Use advanced internet search techniques
Obtain and analyze public records and data, including how to compose thorough FOIA requests
Get information about individuals and groups using a variety of sources
Work with, and incorporate, data and numbers in your reporting and writing
Use social media for reporting and verification
Evaluate scholarly literature
This course also will help you to sharpen your ability to critically assess the information you have obtained so you can create unique and accurate works of journalism. You will consider tactics for overcoming common obstacles, such as verifying information from interviews, being aware of cognitive bias and navigating informational roadblocks.

THE SOCIOLOGY OF SEXUALITIES
Despite the ubiquity of sexual imagery in contemporary Western popular culture, most people regard sexuality to be an intimate topic that concerns the drives, experiences and pleasures of individuals. In this course, we will examine the social and pluralistic character of sexual desires, meanings, practices and politics. We will begin with some of conceptual foundations that ground contemporary sociological studies of sexuality. We will think together about how knowledge about the social sources of sexuality is produced and some of the methodological, epistemological and ethical quandaries faced by researchers--including the ways our own sexualities, desires, inhibitions and identities frame our work. We will then examine some of the key questions in the sociology of sexualities, including the complexity of classifying sexual identities, practices and populations, the relationship between institutional contexts and sexual behavior, and intersections with the sociology of race, gender, risk, health and regulation. In each of these discussions, students will explore the varied methodological approaches to these topics within sociology, as well as some of the disciplinary and cultural challenges to making sexuality a central object of intellectual inquiry.

Religion and the Sensorium
This seminar explores the sensorium—the interplay of sensory experience, embodiment, and culture—in religious contexts across diverse traditions and historical periods. As we examine foundational texts from the fields of phenomenology, cultural anthropology, material studies and affect theory, we will explore how a variety of approaches to theorizing sense, perception and affect can be brought into conversation with issues emerging within the study of specific religion traditions. Major questions that will preoccupy us in this regard include: How do sensory experiences shape religious practices and identities? What roles do material objects and environments play in mediating sensory encounters in both daily and ritual settings? How do religious traditions prioritize, contest, or balance sensory modalities such as sight, sound, touch, or taste? How do affective intensities influence sensory engagement in rituals and devotion? How, ultimately, do we think we perceive?
While this seminar is open to interested students from all disciplines, our work in this course is also designed to serve as a “zone of inquiry” seminar for the Religion Department’s graduate programs. “Zones of inquiry” seek to introduce students to a particular cluster of key concepts and various theoretical elaborations of those concepts, in order to aid students in honing their ability to reflect critically on and further develop central concepts that they bring to the specific traditions and phenomena of their research. A main goal of this course will therefore be to deepen our conceptual and analytical acumen and expand our theoretical resources at the intersection of religious studies and theories of media and the body.

Transnational Approaches to Gender and S
Approaches Gender/Sexuali
Since the 1980s, third wave feminists have expanded the feminist project to include perspectives from and attention to women outside the West. In more recent decades, a similar movement has happened among queer and trans theorists. In this course, we will engage this work, much of which has been published in the past decade and a half. We will start with provincializing central concepts of feminist and queer theory: gender and sexuality. Taking an intersectional approach that attends to race, class, nation, and other social divisions, we will read scholars who study gender/sexuality around the world, including in Latin America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and Southeast Asia. The readings will draw our attention to the ways in which gender/sexuality are implicated in imperial and post-colonial projects as well as how gender and sexuality operate outside the West, both in practice and identity. Finally, we will consider the possibilities and limitations for studying gender/sexuality beyond our own societies. Critical approaches to gender and sexuality challenge conventional “born this way” narratives about gender and sexual identities as innate. This course will raise questions that will make us uncomfortable and, hopefully, transform our understandings of our own gendered and sexual identities and practices.
