This 24-hour course will place a heavier emphasis on grammar (phrase and sentence patterns, information management) (Click here for an outline of the grammar component)

There wil be exercises (grammar, 1st term) and a 2nd-term unit on English phonology / orthophony.

An additional seminar (1 h/week, in groups, 1st and 2nd term) will be organised to help students prepare the oral exam on Plag & C°'s Introduction to E. Linguistics.
