Course Name（课程名称）：An Introduction to Linguistics语言学导论
Course Description（课程简介）：
This course is designed to offer to graduate students a general look at the scientific study of language and its major scope. With a brief introduction to the history of linguistics as the beginning, this course presents some basic theories in the study of theoretical linguistics, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and so on, followed by some of the applied linguistics. The followings are mainly discussed in this course: features of language; brief history of linguistics; English history; articulatory phonetics; structuralist and generative phonology; brief introduction to semantics and pragmatics; general look at some of the applied linguistics.
This course is given in the first term. It is specially profitable and necessary to those who have taken no undergraduate course of linguistics. With the knowledge gained from this course, students will feel free to go into any specific branch of linguistics and then do their best in their research. It is also a great help to those who will do research work other than linguistics. The main topics are due to be completed within 40 hours.

Course Name（课程名称）：Theories of English Teaching 英语教学论
Course Description（课程简介）：
This course aims at exposing students to various concepts and approaches on foreign language teaching so that students may view foreign language teaching from different angles. The program, though including a brief introduction to different approaches of English teaching in past 100 years, focuses on the study of language learning strategies, learning process and learners" language and other learning problems. Both the tutor and the students will endeavor to explore the nature and the principles of language teaching, especially the communicative teaching approach and the theories behind it as well as its applicability in China"s teaching environment.
As a matter of fact, the program itself will be conducted in the communicative way, so the participants are encouraged to be actively involved in all kinds of teaching and learning activities inside and outside the classroom. With the help of a sense of lectures, workshops, discussions and case studies, the course tries to achieve its goal from two perspectives: theoretical and practical.

Course Name（课程名称）：Phonology I 音系学I
Course Description（课程简介）：
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the standard theory of generative phonology (SPE theory). It first sets phonology in the overall model of generative grammar. Background knowledge in phonetics is provided and a set of the most commonly used distinctive features is introduced. It then dwells on the fundamental concepts of levels of representation and phonological rule and shows how these concepts are used in phonological analysis. Major notational devices in formulating a phonological rule are introduced in this section. Then it treats the corpus-internal principles and techniques of phonological analysis and the corpus-external evidence used in this analysis. Finally, the role of syntactic and lexical information is examined.
A goodly portion of the course is devoted to the presentation of sample analyses taken from a diverse set of languages. The discussion of these analyses illustrates most of basic principles and techniques of phonological description and the different ways of argumentation needed to support a given analysis.
It is our aim that the student will acquire a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of the standard theory of generative phonology and an ability to apply these concepts to the further study of phonological structure.

Course Name（课程名称）：Semantics语义学
Course Description（课程简介）：
Semantics is one of the three major components in linguistics. In general it is the study of meaning, including: the study of how meaning is constructed, interpreted, clarified, obscured, illustrated, simplified， negotiated, contradicted and paraphrased. Since meaning reflects thinking process in the human beings minds and the objective fact so the study of meaning are not only related with the study of language， but also with people and the society as well as the speech context. So meaning is not only a linguistic problem but is also a central issue in philosophy, psychology, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, jurisprudence and theology, cognition, literary critic, logic and mathematics. In philosophy, semantics has generally followed the lead of symbolic logic, and many philosophers do not make a distinction between logic and semantics. In this context, semantics is concerned with such issues as meaning and truth, meaning and thought, and the relation between signs and what they mean. Semantics has also become important to literary criticism and stylistics, in which the way that metaphors evoke feelings is investigated and differences between ordinary and literary language are studied. So for language majors, an understanding of semantics is very necessary, important and essential to the theoretical linguistic study, to the study of language acquisition and to the study of language change.

Course Name（课程名称）：Sociolinguistics 社会语言学
Course Description（课程简介）：
Sociolinguistics has become an important and popular field of study, as certain cultures around the world expand their communication base and inter-group and inter-personal relations take on escalating significance. This course deals with the scientific study of language in relation to society. As an introductory course, it is to familiarize the students with the topics concerned with the study of language in its social context. It is to encourage further discussion and research in the field of their own interest. It is also intended to provide the students with a sound basic knowledge of most of the topics dealt with sociolinguistics. The course is divided into four major aspects: 1. Varieties of language, which include linguistic varieties distinguished according to user and that according to use; 2. Language change and language planning; 3. Language and culture; 4. Application of sociolinguistics in language teaching.

Course Name（课程名称）：The Study of Second Language Acquisition 第二语言习得研究
Course Description（课程简介）：
The Study of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research program prepares qualified students for teaching careers in education and other subjects. The students who complete the program are expected to broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding of comprehensive and accessible information in the field of second language acquisition. It contains the following subjects: (1) a general framework for the study of second language acquisition; (2) a general description of learner language; (3) the account for the role of the linguistic environment, the learner external factors and internal mechanisms; (4) individual differences in language learning; and (5) the expanding research on classroom second language acquisition.
The understanding of the description and explanation of the program"s objectives is most likely for students to catch the essence of three major questions: (1) How do learners learn a second language? (2) Why do learners vary in the speed when they learn a second language? (3) Why do most learners fail to achieve full target-language competence? Hopefully students, armed with the profound and up-to-date knowledge in the program, are supposed to develop an ability to collect and analyze a sample in the language concerned, to describe and interpret the interlanguage, to evaluate and assess the research methods getting involved, and to get well informed and be able to appreciate both the past and resent theoretical developments in its fields respectively.
