Learning Outcome Students are able to understand various concepts of language, literature and language learning to be implemented in their
learning.
Course Description The course provides students with the knowledge and ability to investigate the purposes and uses of language. Students are
expected to be able to examine/analyze spoken and written language and the contexts of their use. Further, they have to
investigate how language is used and its effect to reveal the choices language users have in interaction and show how
meaning is made. This course is intended to help teachers’ candidate to be effective teachers. The course covers the concepts
of functional grammar, the context and text connection, genre, Mood (clause as an exchange), transtivity (clause as
representation), clause and clause complexes, theme and rheme (the clause as message), nominal group, spoken and written
language, cohesion, the genre-grammar connection. Classroom activities in which students do Niteni, Nirokke and Nambahi
will be mostly conducted in the form of discussion and group/pairwork. Evaluation will be based on their classroom
activities, home assignment and competence test.
