COURSE DESCRIPTION
AIM: Teachers of English as a second language live out their lives between worlds: they serve
as interpreters and guides to learners entering the global world of English speakers. As an
interpreter and guide to learners, an ESL teacher must be able to explain the intricacies of the
English lexicon, provide guidance to students in how to master the physiological acts involved
in pronouncing English so it can be comprehended, and lead students with ease and skill
through the terrain of grammar. This course assumes you are interested in learning these skills.

(a)
borrowed words from around the world
(b)
borrowed forms from Latin and Greek
2. Teaching pronunciation:
(a)
phonemic transcription
(b)
pronunciation pairs
(c)
spelling
3. Teaching syntax in the context of content-area genres:
(a)
sentence patterns
(b)
the structure and linguistic features of genres used in academic subject areas, K-12
