EDU-106 Language and Linguistics
This course will focus on language and linguistics for the pre-K to 12 classrooms. It will compare what languages have in common as well as how they differ. As an introduction to the science of language, this course surveys the main branches of linguistics: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and sociolinguistics, as they apply to language learning and teaching. However, no background in linguistics or any foreign language study is required or assumed in the course. A clinical component of 5 hours in a center or school setting with bilingual or multilingual students is required for this course. This is a required course for the Illinois State Board of Education ESL Teacher Certification as well as for Early Childhood Gateways Level 2,3,4 Bilingual Credential. Fee is required.
