ENGL 514 - Linguistics for TESOL

(3 credits)
This course introduces students to the formal study of language as a uniquely human system of communication. Students examine major approaches in such subfields of linguistics as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. The focus of the course is on exploring how the systematic study of language informs best practices for teaching English as a second language.
