120411 VO STEOP (A046): BEd 1.1 Introduction to English Linguistics (2014W)

This lecture course forms the first part of a one-year introductory program that aims at providing first-year students of English teacher education with an overview of the major areas of linguistic knowledge and their relevance for learning and teaching English as a foreign language. In the first semester, we study ways of describing and transcribing the sounds and sound system of English (phonetics/phonology) before turning to English words and their international architecture (morphology and word-formation). We will then investigate the meanings of words and sentences (semantics) and consider different approaches to grammar, studying how words combine to form phrases and sentences (syntax).

Please note that the following classes accompany the lecture course. These courses are to be understood as an additional offer to help you pass the exam, attendance is not mandatory.
