About This Course Pack
This course will provide students with the fundamentals of linguistic and psycholinguistic theory. Students will explore the nature of language and learn about the basic components studied by psycholinguists. They will also gain an understanding of language development as well as the biological basis of language. Language processes such as comprehension, reading, and speaking will also be explored, along with the current models of comprehension and production.
Unit topics include the history and significance of linguistics, the sounds of language, the parts of speech, the biological basis of language, learning to speak, bilingualism, visual language, reading, and speaking.
This course has been designed for three course hours a week over a 12-week semester and is aligned with the open textbook Psychology of Language by Dinesh Ramoo.
In each of the 9 units of this course, you will find a facilitation plan, lecture slides, and discussion topics. Student activities include H5P formative assessments, exercises in critical thinking, and living language activities.
