Lynch School of Education & Human Development
This course provides an introduction to the construction and use of languages, focusing on language structure (morphology, phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics), language use (discourse, pragmatics, and language variation), applied linguistics (L1 and L2), and English grammar. Students learn English as compared with other languages, exploring the grammatical categories and processes. A wide range of essential topics are covered in the course, including grammar, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistic pragmatics (ex. body language), dialects, and computational linguistics. This course provides a solid foundation for future and current TESOL educators, language teachers, language learners, as well as those pursuing advanced linguistics courses. There is no prerequisite or assumption of previous knowledge of linguistics for this course.
