LING 250 - English Linguistics for the Classroom This course explores English grammar from both prescriptive and descriptive points of view. Issues related to language variation are contextualized for future teachers of both native and non-native speakers of English. Contemporary American English is analyzed in terms of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Rules in “Standard American English” are contrasted both with African American English (as an equally complex system in its own right) and with typical non-native language learning errors. This course also covers current controversies regarding the use and teaching of English in the classroom context.
Prerequisite: LING 238 - Introduction to Linguistics with a grade of “C” or higher. Credit(s): 3
