ENG 302 - Structure of English/World Englishes

Institution:

Marist College

Subject:

Description:

Three Credits LA Coursework is devoted to linguistic analysis of both speech and writing, with emphasis on the former. Students first learn the structural units of each mode before applying that knowledge to the discovery characteristics of English varieties around the world, e.g., conflicting conversational styles leading to miscommunication between speakers of Afrikaans English and South African English, humorous effects of stylistic shifts in Filipino media. Data used for this hands-on analytical work cover a broad range of formats and geographical areas. By the end of the course, students should feel confident in their ability to arrive at logical, provable answers to queries on contemporary English. A lot of one-on-one guidance is given to strengthen skills in research design and research paper writing. Offered in alternate years. (Fulfills the Theory requirement for English Literature and Writing majors.)
