Unit of Study: EDPZ5823 - The Systems of English
This unit aims to raise awareness of the systems of English, including grammar, vocabulary, discourse and pronunciation. Most importanly, it aims to raise awareness of how people actually use language in real contexts. Principles that will be stressed are that systems can be found at all levels of language - within words, within sentences and at the level of the whole text, and that context is important in determining language use. Attention is also paid to how the systems of English can be taught in the classroom, and to how langugage teaching materials can be used effectively to teach this.
