Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course "English for Specific Purposes. General Linguistics-2" is an elective intended for 1st-year students who are training with a major in linguistics. It is to be administered as one of the set of courses of English in accordance with the Concept of the Development of Foreign Language Communicative Competence of HSE Students. The aims of the course are (1) to develop Academic English competence on the basis of getting familiar with academic written and oral production in English, and (2) to advance HSE students’ research skills in the area of their specialization, i.e. linguistics. The course focuses on core tasks relevant to all academic purposes, such as working out the main points of an academic text or lecture; presenting a summary of the information received, taking into consideration positions of all contributors to the area in focus; and extending one’s own scope of English communicative competence and professional vocabulary in the area of linguistics and linguistic studies as a means to develop academic writing and listening skills. The students will be expected to produce critical, analytic, or evaluative texts in speech and writing throughout the course. The syllabus covers concepts and key vocabulary necessary for discussing linguistics as well as words and phrases commonly used in Academic English. Finally, the course is to highlight the skills and academic norms that are required for participation in linguistic seminars and tutorials in the English language, on the one hand, and in international academic events, on the other. As a result, students are expected to present their group and individual projects orally and in writing throughout the course.
