内容简介

《语言学导论》由Marilia Resende、纪玉华合著。 The book will contain 8 chapters and each chapter will deal with a different topic.Besides, each chapter includes learning objectives, an explanatory chart with the basic key concepts, a pretask to allow for warmup discussion, a comprehensive text to cover the key concepts relevant to the topic, and many followup tasks, which help students acquire a practical outlook of the course and involve either pair work or group work.In addition, there is a chapter summary for students to review, a checklist for selfassessment purposes, and a few critical thinking exercises to develop students' problemsolving skills.The idea is to make Linguistics an appealing and engaging subject for students but also to allow the teacher some flexibility to select the exercises he / she wishes to cover in every chapter as well as the tasks he / she finds more suitable for the targetgroup.
