EED201J - English Language Studies

Purpose: To explore issues introduced on NQF Level 5 more fully and to introduce students to theories of the origins and properties of language; language as a system of signs; the sounds and sound patterns of language; primary-language acquisition and second-language learning; semantics and pragmatics. Students will demonstrate their knowledge in an independent language investigation on a topic of their own choice in which they will apply their knowledge to aspects of English in use.
