EDU-446 Linguistics for Language Teachers
A study of the central concepts of linguistic
theory. Includes the theoretical areas of
pragmatics, semantics, syntax, morphology, and
phonology; and the applied areas of language
variation, first language acquisition, second
language acquisition, and written language.
Students will acquire the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA) as an essential tool for
disciplined examination of linguistic phenomena.
Issues of sociolinguistics will be addressed as
students wrestle with the relationship between
language, thought, and culture, and the nature of
the cognitive and brain systems that relate to
language learning, language teaching, and
language use.(Cross-listed as ENG/MFL-446)
