This subject explores linguistics as an academic discipline and in particular its relevance to language learning and teaching. A central idea underpinning the subject is the role that language awareness plays in preparing language teachers to teach English to speakers of other languages. The subject includes an exploration of the following aspects of linguistics - sociolinguistics, psycho and neuro-linguistics; language descriptions and grammars; phonetics; phonology; morphology; syntax; semantics; pragmatics; discourse analysis; semiotics.

Linguistics and Language Analysis

This subject explores the complex relationship between language and culture, and considers both in terms of linguistic and cultural diversity. The subject applies understandings of each to the teaching and learning of language. An emphasis is placed on understanding &#39;culture&#39; from a range of critical perspectives, and to explore the way in which intercultural communication is at play in English language learning and teaching. Issues of identity, the emergence of &#39;world Englishes&#39;, and the contribution of critical sociolinguistics are considered in relation to the practice of English language learning and teaching

Language, Culture and Diversity

In this subject, you are required to undertake a minimum of 60 hours of work-integrated learning (WIL) experience in a setting that is relevant to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Through mentoring provided by the course coordinator and a teacher in a TESOL setting, you will experience the integration of theory of TESOL in practice. Should you wish to undertake this WIL in a P-12 school setting, you are required to undertake a Working with Children/Vulnerable People Check (Volunteer).

Work Integrated Learning in a TESOL Context

This subject critically examines the way in which culture, context and language come together to produce different varieties of language and diverse pragmatic styles. It aims to develop transcultural competence for those working in culturally and linguistically diverse contexts.

Analyse how culture and context come together to produce different types of language and styles. Learn to see similarities and differences and appreciate the impact of styles of language on communication, identity, power and social status.

The subject offers students opportunities to consider what it means to lead learning in culturally and linguistically sustaining environments. These types of environments are commonplace in Australia and include individuals from multicultural and multilingual backgrounds. While this subject focuses on classroom contexts, it will also inform leadership practices in other environments consisting of individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. A central premise of the unit is that sustaining environments are collaborative and include pedagogies which emerge from the capabilities of individuals. In particular, the subject aims to raise critical awareness of cultural and linguistic inclusivity in multilingual/multicultural spaces, show students how to get to know learners in their contexts through ethnographic and action research, and, with those understandings, learn to develop pedagogies and strategies for teaching English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) to students in mainstream classes. This is achieved through three main modules of learning, formal assessments which connect with the community, and non-assessed tasks, which build capacity and scaffold learning.﻿Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.
