Content
An overt understanding of language enables teachers to plan, monitor, evaluate and self-correct when teaching and learning a foreign language, such as English. This course, in offering students an introduction to modern linguistics, equips teachers with this essential meta-awareness.
We look at the specifics of language structure, such as speech sounds (phonetics and phonology), words and their internal structure (morphology), phrases and sentence structure (syntax), meaning of words and sentences (semantics) and finally also the meaning of utterances in communication (pragmatics).
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the scientific study of language by providing them with an opportunity to learn more about the systematic organisation of languages and how they are used in communication. Focus is on the English language.
