授業の概要と方法

Drawing upon theoretical models and empirical findings in applied linguistics, this course provides students with opportunities to increase their understanding of how utterances are processed and interpreted, and of how co-construction of meaning is achieved. Some of the classes will be media-based; students will be instructed to log in to the designated website during the class time, watch the presentations online, and give feedback to peers' presentations. Students are to attend the face-to-face classes in OIC unless academic accommodation is requested.
