Educating English Language Learners (ELLs) is complex, and having a further understanding of linguistics will help teacher educators to enhance their lesson planning and delivery in instructing ELLs of various backgrounds. Educational professionals will most likely encounter situations where having familiarity with aspects of linguistics will better enable one to practice one's profession. This course presents the conceptual foundations of linguistics, examines structural and functional properties of language, and discusses the rules and principles which govern natural language, including morphology, phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Other aspects of linguistics, such as language change and language processing, are also explored. The concept of academic language is discussed and its implications on teaching practices are examined in relation to English Language Learners across core content areas.
