HỆ THỐNG HỌC TRỰC TUYẾN - ĐẠI HỌC HOA SEN

This course introduces some basic notions related to meaning (i.e. what meaning is) and its properties or features (i.e. compositionality). The primary focus will be on word meaning and some aspects of sentential meaning. Interpersonal meaning (pragmatics) will be introduced briefly so that students can get an overview of the scope of meaning. Some questions students will be presented are: What is the difference between speaker meaning and sentence meaning? What is the difference between sense and reference? What are the components of word meaning? What is the difference between sentences and utterances?  What kinds of basic elements do we need to make reference to in characterizing the meanings of words or other linguistic units?

This course introduces learners to some contemporary approaches to the study of the interface between language and culture. Bringing together insights from different disciplines, including linguistic anthropology, cultural studies, sociolinguistics, and translation studies; the course highlights the conceptualization of language as cultural and political practices. Throughout the course, learners engage with works that in many ways challenge the view of language as a unified and self-contained structure divorced from social, cultural, and political contexts. Specifically, in the first part of the course, learners will engage in discussions about how language constitutes our perceptions of the world, shapes communication, defines cultural practices, and delimits what we know. In the second part, the focus will be on how language participates in the establishment of power relations among cultures. Readings include both primary and secondary sources.

This course provides fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of English language teaching and learning. Participants will explore different topics including different contexts of English learning, understanding learners, theories of second language learning, and different teaching methods.
