This course provides an overview of linguistics as a discipline, its development, levels of structure, and its significance to English language teaching. Moreover, it is designed to orient students the nature of linguistic inquiry, description and analysis, as well as the methodologies. Appropriate focus is given on linguistics as a science and a specialization. And does not treat it as a mere pedagogical tool. This course further develops in students the technical mastery of the accepted rule-writing conventions, as well as advanced critical and logical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for linguistic analysis.
