EECLD 6002 On Languages: What Educators Need to Know about Linguistics

The relationship between languages and cultures, the nature of language, oral and written language development, language variation/change are all explored. Foundational knowledge in phonology, morphology, and syntax are developed as participants compare students’ home languages and English. Participants consider their own linguistic footprint to deepen their understanding of the interdependence of languages and cultures.
