Educational Linguistics

3 Credits

Study of language form, language function, and language varieties, among other topics. By collecting and analyzing learner language, students will develop a solid foundation of the system of English, both as it exists and as it is used. Applying this linguistic knowledge to practice, students will learn how to identify learners' linguistic needs; to set priorities and to establish goals for multilingual learners (MLs); and to embed target language forms in authentic tasks.
