terms related to educating students whose first language is not English. This
course discusses how to understand theoretical foundations
of linguistics and how to apply the knowledge and skills in linguistics in ELL
classrooms and content classrooms.
This
computer-based instruction course is a self-supporting program that provides
instruction, structured practice, and evaluation all on your home or school
computer. Technical support information
can be found in the Help section of your course.

Academic Work
Academic work
submitted by the individual (such as papers, assignments, reports, tests) shall
be the student’s own work or appropriately attributed, in part or in whole, to
its correct source. Submission of commercially prepared (or group prepared)
materials as if they are one’s own work is unacceptable.
Aiding Honesty
in Others
The individual will
encourage honesty in others by refraining from providing materials or
information to another person with knowledge that these materials or
information will be used improperly.
Violation
of these academic standards will result in the assignment of a failing grade
and subsequent loss of credit for the course.
Level of Application
This course is designed as an
informational course for K–12 teachers, administrators, parents, and related
service personnel. Information discussed is designed to help you better
understand linguistics.
Expected Learning Outcomes
As a result of taking this course, participants will be
able to demonstrate their ability to:
1.
Understand
the origins, structure, and development of language and its application to
other areas of humanistic and scientific knowledge.
2.
Understand
the general characteristics of the structure of language, including its
phonological sound system, word structure, and phrase and sentence patterns.
3.
Identify
the terminology used to describe and analyze the structure and systems of
language.
4.
Identify
basic principles of linguistic theory.
5.
Consider
linguistic diversity a wealth, not a problem.
Course Description
Information provided in this course has
been divided into four chapters, which should be completed in the order in
which they are presented in the program. Once you have completed these four
chapters, you should have a better understanding of linguistics. This course
will give you the knowledge and skills to create morphological trees and use
the International Phonetic Alphabet. This course will include discussions on
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
You are strongly encouraged to read
additional journal articles, books, and research materials outside the course
material to gain a better understanding of current issues related to educating
students who are learning English as a second language.
Chapter 1: What Is Linguistics?
This chapter focuses on the
science and principles of linguistics, including sociolinguistics, pragmatics,
structural linguistics, systemic-functional linguistics, discourse analysis,
text linguistics, deep grammar, and current trends.
Chapter 2: Phonology & Phonetics
Chapter
2 focuses on the knowledge and skills of phonology, phonetics, phonemes, the
International Phonetic Alphabet, and best practices in the classroom.
Chapter 3: Morphology, Semantics,
Pragmatics
This
chapter focuses on morphology, semantics, pragmatics, and instructional methods
for teaching these in the ELL classroom and the content classroom.
Chapter 4: Syntax & Pragmatics
This
chapter focuses on syntax, pragmatics, and instructional methods for teaching
these in the ELL classroom and the content classroom.
Student Expectations
As
a student you will be expected to:
·
Complete all four information
sections showing a competent understanding of the material presented in each section.
·
Complete all four section
examinations, showing a competent understanding of the material presented. You must obtain an overall score of 70% or higher, with no individual exam score below 50%, to pass this course. *Please
note: Minimum exam score requirements may vary by college or university;
therefore, you should refer to your course addendum to determine what your
minimum exam score requirements are.
·
Complete a review of any section on which your examination score was
below 50%.
·
Retake any examination, after completing an
information review, to increase that examination score to a minimum of 50%,
making sure to also be achieving an overall exam score of a minimum 70% (maximum
of three attempts). *Please note: Minimum exam score
requirements may vary by college or university; therefore, you should refer to
your course addendum to determine what your minimum exam score requirements
are.
·
Complete a course evaluation form at the end of the course.
At the end of each chapter, you will be
expected to complete an examination designed to assess your knowledge. You may
take these exams a total of three times. Your last score will save, not the highest
score. After your third attempt, each
examination will lock and not allow further access. Your final grade for the course will be
determined by calculating an average score of all exams. This score will be printed on your final
certificate. As this is a self-paced
computerized instruction program, you may review course information as often as
necessary. You will not be able to exit any examinations until you have
answered all questions. If you try to exit the exam before you complete all
questions, your information will be lost. You are expected to complete the
entire exam in one sitting.
