Abstract:

The text is organized into three thematic units - "What is Language and Howis It Acquired?"; "How Does Language Change?"; and "What is Literacy?". Toachieve both breadth and depth - that is, to provide a "big picture" viewof basic linguistics and at the same time make it specific enough for thebeginner - a selection of readings, including personal language narratives,is provided to both introduce and clarify linguistic concepts. Thereadings, by well-known theoretical and applied linguists and researchersfrom various disciplines, are diverse in level and range of topics and varyin level of linguistic formalism.

Pedagogical features: This text is designed for a range of courses inEnglish and language arts, bilingualism, applied linguistics, and ESLcourses in teacher education programs. Each unit contains a substantiveintroduction to the topic, followed by the readings. Each reading concludeswith Questions to Think About including one Extending Your Understandingquestion, and a short list of Terms to Define. Each unit ends withadditional Extending Your Understanding and Making Connections activitiesthat engage readers in applying what they have read to teaching andsuggested projects and a bibliography of Print and Web Resources. Thereadings and apparatus are arranged so that the material can be modified tofit many course plans and schemes of presentation. To help individualinstructors make the most effective use of the text in specific classes, aset of matrixes is provided suggesting configurations of readings fordifferent types of linguistics and education classes.
