INTRODUCTION TO APPLIED LINGUISTICS

  1. Course Description
    응용언어학의 기본적 이론과 실제를 학습한다. 응용언어학의 시각으로본 학습자의 언어 사용과 언어 습득 과정은 영어학습의 보다 심도 깊은 이해를 도와준다.
  2. Course Objectives
    Upon completion of the course, you are expected to 1. minimally, have a good overview of generative grammar; 2. ideally, have a fairly detailed grasp of generative grammar and be ready to test out the ideas that you study with the exercises; 3. be prepared for the appropriate section in the National Teacher Certification Examination.
  3. Teachnig Method
    The daily plan 1. Don’t be late: -The door will be closed upon my entry to the class. -After we check your attendance, put your cellular phone or any other electronic devices in your bag. Use of any of these devices in class will be regarded as an absence. -Two late arrivals constitute one absence, with the maximum of four late arrivals allowed. 2. Announcements 3. Hard copy assignments if any must be placed on the instructor’ s desk before class starts. Their soft copies must be uploaded to the CTL site prior to each class (*Both* electronic and hard copies must be submitted before class on a due date starts). No late assignments will be accepted (Do not send your assignments through e-mail or drop in my office. They will not count). 4. Assignments must follow the following requirements. Otherwise, they won’t count: must be double-spaced and stapled. must note all of the following at the top: Your name, the course title, the date the assignment is given (MM/ DD), the textbook title, the chapter/unit, etc., the page number(s), the exercise/practice numbers 5. Lecture, Presentations & Class activities “ English only” policy unless otherwise permitted. Any violation is considered an absence as a penalty. 6. Assignment reminder --- 7. Your can be excused from the class twice with no penalty. From the third absence and on, each undocumented absence will result in a loss of 3 points. Your 7th undocumented absence leads to an automatic F. 8. Assignments for any scheduled absence must be submitted in advance. 9. Any assignments that are written unintelligibly (grammatically or content- or format-wise) may be negatively evaluated. 10. No make-up opportunities will be granted for tests or presentations unless proper official documentation is submitted and approved by the instructor. 11. Due to the University policy, all inquiries and correspondences related to the course must be posted to the Q & A page of the course CTL site.
