Course Objectives: | ELT 5012 continues with themes introduced in ELT 5008 and ELT 5006 by addressing the context and the deeper connotations of language. A Greater understanding of the interplay between power, language, and participation will allow the student-teacher to guide his/her students to more effective communication. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; Competence in methods of discourse analysis and familiarity with their relevance to second language education will equip the student-teacher with the following tools: 1. a deeper focus on the semantic, syntactic, and phonological characteristics of written English discourse 2. an awareness of these aspects in spoken English discourse 3. an appreciation for differences between elements of prescriptive and descriptive English grammar 4. the ability for student-teachers to alter their own classroom discourse and to train linguistic sensitivity to cultural and psychological implications. |
Embedded in an understanding of cultural context and pragmatics, the content of ELT 5012 borrows from the fields of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics to enhance classroom communication. The syllabus draws from general textbooks as well as articles written about specific Turkish contexts; students are encouraged to explore these factors as they relate to other cultures familiar to them. Students also analyze and produce spoken and written language in ways that demonstrate an ability to manipulate these factors. |
