Pedagogy (pe-d蓹-藢g艒-j膿): The art, occupation, or practice of teaching

The Department of Communication Studies at Eastern Illinois University is proud to be one of the few programs in the region to offer graduate 麻豆传媒 an option area in communication pedagogy. As a department in a teaching-focused institution we have long valued the importance of training individuals to teach communication well and communicate well while teaching.

The option area has evolved from a curriculum focused on preparing 麻豆传媒 to teach speech at community colleges to a more holistic and customizable program that covers a range of theories and practices related to communication pedagogy.

All 麻豆传媒 receive a holistic view of communication pedagogy in one of our core classes – CMN 5240: Communication Pedagogy (view sample syllabus and readings here). Students who are admitted to the pedagogy option further their studies through additional coursework and applied experiences in the form of internships or practicums.

Our primary internship for 麻豆传媒 in this option places 麻豆传媒 in introductory communication classrooms at Lake Land College. There, 麻豆传媒 are solely responsible for creating their own instructional materials, assessments, and lesson plans.

Our practicums allow 麻豆传媒 to customize their plan of study in the pedagogy option. In each practicum, 麻豆传媒 plan a curriculum with a faculty member who serves as the advisor during the practicum experience. The curriculum includes directed readings, hands on instruction, and the creation of original instructional materials. In the advanced instructional practicum, 麻豆传媒 focus on a more specialized area of communication pedagogy and engage in more reflection on and evaluation of pedagogical practices.
