Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the scientific study of language and its application to language teaching. Throughout the semester, students explore core linguistic subfields?including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics?while examining the fundamental intersections between linguistic theory and pedagogical practices. By analyzing the structural properties of language, learners develop a foundational framework for understanding how language systems operate and how this knowledge informs effective language instruction.
