EDU 5021 Applied Linguistics Concept

3 Hours

This course examines the development of the English language and explores the sociocultural, linguistic, neuro-linguistic, and psycholinguistic approaches to the development of language acquisition, particularly that of second language acquisition. Students explore the history and development of the English language in order to understand the sound systems, forms, structures, and lexicon of English and other languages. Students in this course will apply theories and practical aspects of the development of a second language to evaluate curriculum materials, identify the linguistic complexities of materials, and provide research-based recommendations to support English learners.
