Description
This introduction to language provides a broad and accessible overview of language as a formal system. It explores the nature of words, sounds, and syntax, highlighting the abstract and complex aspects of language that often go beyond traditional teaching methods.
The module places particular emphasis on the ways in which language does not follow simple rules or 'rules of thumb' commonly used with language learners. This approach offers a fresh perspective for both novice and experienced teachers looking to deepen their understanding of language.
