Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Application of linguistic principles to the teaching of English as a second language.
COURSE DETAILS:
LING 362 will help you to develop the knowledge and the practical skills necessary for teaching English as a second language to adults in Canada. The course will include lectures, demonstrations, group activities, and student teaching presentations. Some of your teaching presentations will be video-recorded and made available to you on DVDs. The presentation skills you will learn are useful in any situation where you must speak to groups.
NOTE: I recommend LING 360. If you are going to take it concurrently with LING 362, that’s fine, too. Note that LING 362 is intended specifically for students interested in teaching English as a second language. However, irrespective of your career goals, LING 362 will help to enhance your public speaking skills and build your confidence in front of audiences. Those are useful things these days. Your English speaking and writing skills must be of a high order for you to succeed in LING 362.

1. Students should familiarize themselves with the Department's Standards on Class Management and Student Responsibilities.
2. A grade of “FD” may be assigned as a penalty for academic dishonesty.
3. Students’ requests for accommodation of their religious practices must be made in writing by the end of the first week of classes or no later than one week after you add the course.
4. Students requiring accommodation as the result of a disability must contact the Centre for Students with Disabilities (778.782.3112 or csdo@sfu.ca).
It is strongly recommended that you see the Student Advisor regarding your degree requirements at least two semesters before you plan to graduate. Unless you meet both faculty and major/minor requirements, your graduation cannot be approved.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
