This paper describes a college course that relates psycholinguistics to language-arts instruction. The course structure is designed to achieve several objectives for the student: understanding of reading as a psycholinguistic process that interacts with listening, writing, and speaking processes; awareness and understanding of the many aspects of language study; ability to draw practical applications for teaching, from a study of reading and other linguistic processes; and ability to use teacher reference materials in the language arts, particularly in reading. Involvement in group projects is emphasized as a means of developing independent learning habits, enabling students to become continuing self-educators as well as classroom teachers. (RL)
