Lesson Plan

Week Subject Related Preparation
1) • Introduce the course to the students • Getting to know T & Ss. Discuss syllabus & biblio. Discussion of Syllabus
2) • Introduce Discourse Analysis • Discourse Analysis: interpreting discourse (cohesion, coherence, speech events), conversation analysis (turn-taking), the co-operative principle (hedges, implicatures), background knowledge (schemas and scripts).
3) • Explain language and the brain. • Language and the brain: neurolinguistics, language areas of the brain (Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, the motor cortex and the arcuate fasciculus, the localization view), tongue tips and slips (the tip of the tongue phenomenon, slips of the tongue, slips of the ear), aphasia (Broca’s Aphasia, Wernicke’s aphasia, conduction aphasia), dichotic listening, the critical period.
4) • Explain first language acquisition. • First Language Acquisition: acquisition (input), the acquisition schedule (cooing and babbling, the one-word stage, the two-word stage, telegraphic speech) the acquisition process, developing morphology, developing syntax, (forming question, forming negatives), developing semantics.
5) • Explain second language acquisition. • Second Language Acquisition/Learning (acquisition and learning, acquisition barriers, affective factors), focus on method (the grammar-translation method, the auidiolingual method, communicative approaches), focus on the learner (transfer, interlanguage, motivation, input and output), communicative competence (applied linguistics).
6) • Introduce Gestures and sign languages. • Gestures (types of gestures), types of sign languages, oralism, signed English, origins of ASL, the structure of signs (shape and orientation, location and movemenet, primes, faces and finger spelling), the meaning of signs, representing signs, ASL as a natural language.
7) • Introduce writing to the students. • Writing: pictograms and ideograms, logograms, (rebus writing), syllabic writing, alphabetic writing, written English (English orthography).
8) Midterm Examination Midterm Examination (MTE)
9) • Explain language history and change. • Language History and Change: family trees (family connections, cognates), comparative reconstruction (sound reconstruction, word reconstruction), the history of English (Old English, Middle English, sound changes, syntactic changes, semantic changes), diachronic and synchronic variation.
10) • Introduce language and regional variation to the students. • Language and Regional Variation: the standard language, accent and dialect, dialectology (regional dialects, isoglosses and dialect boundaries, the dialect continuum), bilingualism and diglossia, language planning, pdgins and creoles (the post-creole continuum)
11) • Introduce language and social variation to the students. • Language and Social Variation: Sociolinguistics (social dialects, education and occupation, social markers), speech style and style shifting (prestige, speech accommodation, registere and jargon, slang), African American English (vernacular language, the sounds of a vernacular, the grammar of a vernacular).
12) • Introduce language and culture to the students. • Language and Culture: categories (kinship terms, time concepts), linguistics relativity (the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, snow), cognitive categories (classifiers), social categories (address terms), gender (gendered words, gendered speech, gendered interaction).
13) • REVIEW • UNITS 11-15
14) • REVIEW • UNITS 16-20
