Expanded Course Description
| In this course linguistic principles are used to study English vocabulary. This involves studying the morphemes, or meaningful elements, in English words and examining how these elements combine to form words. A major course objective is to teach students to approach English words in an analytical and historically-oriented way, providing the background for an increased vocabulary, as well as improved spelling. The techniques taught in this course can be used to efficiently increase vocabulary for a lifetime.
A major content area of the course is learning a large number of word roots from classical languages (Latin and Greek) and learning to identify these roots in unfamiliar English words. These roots occur frequently in many English words, especially those words used in academic and technical vocabulary. Through this study, students will gain the skills necessary for coping with technical vocabulary in fields such as medicine, biology, geology, psychology, neurology, chemistry, and anthropology, as well as language sections on standardized tests. Another major content area focuses on the basics of linguistic analysis through the study of English. Through such study, students will gain an understanding of English linguistics and how historical changes have affected the modern lexical, grammatical, and sound systems. The sounds and structures of English and the historical development of English, along with the relationship of English to other Indo-European languages, are treated in this course.
