Abstract

The course ‘English for Language and Linguistics’ is intended for second-year students whose majors are linguistics, cultural studies, translation and interpreting, teaching methods, philology. To master the discipline, students have to have achieved the intermediate level of the English language (B1+/IELTS 5-6/Int) and have studied linguistics at the basic level. It is designed for students who plan to take a course in the field of language and linguistics entirely in English. The principal aims of the course are to teach students to cope with input texts, i.e., listening and reading, to extend professional vocabulary in the area of linguistics and linguistic studies, as well as to develop academic writing skills. The students will be expected to produce output texts in speech and writing throughout the course. The syllabus puts emphasis on key vocabulary for language and linguistics and on words and phrases commonly used in academic English. It covers key facts and concepts of both language and linguistics development and focuses on the skills that will enable students to get the most out of lectures and written texts. Finally, it presents the skills required to take part in seminars and tutorials and to produce written assignments on a range of linguistics-related topics.
