Here you can learn about English Linguistics and how it can help you in your teaching of English Language Learners (ELLs). A background in linguistics can provide teachers with tools to combat the language discrimination that is pervasive in U.S. society today. We will explore the topics of morphology, phonology, syntax and grammar, semantics, discourse, language variation, and stylistics. We will also investigate practical ways to apply the knowledge of linguistics in our classrooms.
