Experiencia de clase

Nivel de inglés: desconocido

This course seeks to introduce the student to the following linguistic subjects: Historical Linguistics, Etymology, Phonetics, Morphology, Syntax, Typology, Semantics, Writing Systems and Language Acquisition.

The class will be comprised of initial lectures, but discussion will drive the classes, as well as fun examples for analysis and consideration.

My teaching style is relaxed and interactive.  There is a wealth of information on every subject.  Student interest will dictate to some extent how much time is spent on particular subjects within the syllabus.

Metas de aprendizaje

The goal of the course is to develop interest and a framework for appreciating language through linguistic inquiry.

Lección 2:

Phonetics and Phonology

 How is language produced physically?  What languages have the most and least sounds.  How does English compare?  The English phonemic inventory will be compared to Polynesian languages (very few sounds) and Khoisan languages (a great number of sounds), and other languages that are illustrative of the variety of language sounds.  Cognates of English words borrowed into Hawaiian, Mandarin and Japanese will also be analyzed.

Lección 3:

Morphology

 What are words?  What do they do?  English word classes will be compared against word classes of other languages to discover their relative complexity or simplicity.  Lexical and Functional word types will be introduced.  In addition to prefixes and suffixes, students will be introduced to infixes and circumfixes.  Students will analyze a nonsensical text to see whether they are able to parse the words into their classes.

I am a teacher and literacy instructor that is constantly using my knowledge of phonetics, phonology and morphology to engineer the most effective instruction for my students.  I have also worked as a Spanish Linguist for Spanish and English literacy curriculum development.  In my free time I study languages, which is made enjoyable by my understanding of the linguistic principles that I teach here.  I have a BA in Linguistics with a minor in French.
