What Do I Know About The English Language?
If in chapter 2 I asked myself the question of who will I teach, in this unit I ask "what will I teach?"
As an L2 learner that I am, I thought that learning a "little bit" more about the English language was going to be like a refresher for me after so many years that I have been int he process of learning it. Well, it felt like a bucket of cold water poured over me when I began to read Hammer, J (2007). Describing Language, part of our reading material. Talking about the context of meaning in words, the structure of sentences, the function and the variable of the language, etc. left me feeling totally lost and unable to have a clearer understanding of these concepts.
According to Razfar A. and Rumenapp, J.C.2003, there are seven levels of linguistics which represent the language code and are lined up in a traditional progression - smallest unit to largest.
