This subject provides a useful introduction to the field of linguistics as it is intended for beginning students with no previous knowledge or training in the subject. Specifically, the course is designed to introduce basic concepts in linguistics for students who are preparing for a career in language teaching profession.

SHL 3622 Interactive Skills for Academic Purposes

This subject is concerned with two important and interrelated dimensions of speaking effectively. The first isthat speaking is an activity that is integrated as part of social and academic behaviour. Each time that peoplespeak together, in addition to making choices about what they are going to say, they must also decide howformal, how direct and even how silent they should be. They make these choices so that their ‘speakingbehaviour' fits the norms of interaction for the social situation in which they are participating. The seconddimension of speaking effectively is that people who speak together create an interdependent flow of discoursethat takes its shapes with each speaking turn. This ability to speak responsively and flexibly is as important apart of effective speaking as is related skill of using language that is appropriate to the social situations.
