TSL 440 - Applied Linguistics and English Grammar


Credits: 3

This course will assist pre-service and currently practicing teachers in understanding the linguistic sciences such as phonology, morphology, semantics, psycholinguistics, socio-linguistics, the nature of language and how it is learned, and the history of the English language. There will be an emphasis on the impact of the theories of linguistics on ESL/EFL pedagogy. This course is also a review of modern English grammar for teachers and of the rules L2 learners need for language decision making and self-monitoring. It will promote an understanding of how the linguistic sciences affect L2 learner processing of English grammar.
