Through extensive readings, discussions and in-class activities, students will investigate such topics as multilingualism, children's literature in translation and storytelling.

It will also give them an opportunity to reflect upon the way in which their overall education prepares them to life and career after the university. Throughout the semester we will explore their personal and education experiences and examine opportunities in study abroad, service learning and internships, considering how these programs fit in with their other studies, and the way these prepare them to move on into the professional world.
