English 103, Modern English

Time: Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:00AM-10:15AM
Location: Sweeney Hall 413

Description

Welcome to English 103! This course provides a survey of the growth and structure of Modern English including its phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Material in the course will also focus on some recurring problems of “usage” and/or “correctness,” regional and social varieties of English, and the historical development of English, especially as it affects the language today. This class is one of the course options for English majors. It is a required course for English majors preparing for a single-subject teaching credential and for students preparing to enter a multiple-subject teaching credential program. The material taught in this course will help improve your own writing, and it will demonstrate the diverse ways that grammar can be taught in the classroom. This course will be challenging, but remember that I am here to help you, and please do not hesitate to see me or visit a tutor at the on-campus Writing Center for extra help. If you keep up with the work, you will find that you can be successful in this class.
