Welcome to this course.
This is part B of
a series of two
courses in applied linguistics.
In this class you'll get an
overview of systems of english,
with a focus on
listening and speaking,
and how to teach them.
The key systems
we'll include sounds,
such as phonetics and
phonics, language and use,
which includes discourse,
pragmatics, social linguistics,
language variation,
and dialects.
We'll also examine how these
english systems contrast
with those of other languages.
This course will end with
a look at how English has
become a global
language, and ways
it may evolve in the future.
