Course 1 and Course 2 - Amazon Web Services



Course 1 and Course 2One obvious course structure would be to adopt the horizontal strand titles as the weekly topics of study.?Course 1?and?Course 2?below show two such horizontal possibilities, with weekly titles expressed informally and formally respectively:Course 1SoundsWordsMeaningsSentencesDiscourseLanguage learningLanguage and brainHistory of EnglishLanguage and societyEnglish around the worldLanguage and literatureHow to study languageApproaches to language studyCourse 2Phonetics and phonologyMorphology and lexicologySemantics and pragmaticsSyntaxDiscourse analysisLanguage AcquisitionPsycholinguisticsHistorical developmentSociolinguisticsWorld EnglishesStylisticsMethodologyTheoretical principlesSo, for example, in Week 1, students would read?A1 Phonetics and phonology?and B1 Consonants and vowels?in advance of the class. They could then come to a class in which they would practise the activities set out in?C1 Performing accents, and finally they could read?D1 Glottalisation in Cardiff, or some of the?Further Reading?for this strand, as a follow-up task. A more in-depth version of this would be for students to read the A and B Units in advance of a more detailed lecture on the topic given by their teacher. The activities in the Unit in C would then form suggestions for the teacher’s own material in the first half of a follow-up seminar, and the D reading could act as preparation for a seminar discussion. For a more advanced class, the A and B reading could precede the lecture, and the seminar could consist entirely of a discussion of the D reading, led by the teacher. The activities in C could then be used as self-diagnostic tests for students to complete during the week.An alternative horizontal sequence could see the book being used on a two-part course, in which the traditional linguistic rank-structure was presented over 6 weeks (an introduction plus strands 1 to 5), followed by a class test to ensure basic knowledge. The second part of the course (strands 6 to 11) over the next 6 weeks would use this foundational knowledge within each of the sub-disciplines of language study. Strands 12 and 13 could be included, omitted or set as task-reading, depending on the length of the course. ................
