Varga László. Introduction to English Linguistics: A Companion to the Seminar

Budapest: Eötvös Loránd University, 2010. — 100 p.The seminar called Introduction to English Linguistics is offered in English to first year students in weekly sessions. Since for most students this seminar is the only place where the topics of the course are discussed in English , teachers of this seminar often have to explain the material to their students before (or instead of!) doing exercises or discussing problems, and so a considerable part of precious seminar time is wasted on lecturing. The present book offers a solution. It contains ten units: each discusses an important topic in English and each is followed by exercises. Thus it provides ample seminar material for about 12 weeks. Some of the units may be curtailed or even omitted at the teacher's discretion. The units should be assigned for home study before the actual seminar session at which they will be discussed.
