SPEECH 1001 - Linguistics for Speech Pathology A

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

In this course, students will learn about linguistics; that is, the scientific study of language and its structures. Focusing mainly on words and sub-word parts, students will learn principles to analyse word structure and the role of words in language. Within words, phonetic properties are explored, as is the notion of decomposing a word into minimally meaningful elements. Students will critically consider how words, and more broadly language, function within the context of the individuals and communities who use and produce language. Theories of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics will be explored to develop competence and confidence when conducting linguistic analysis with individuals and communities different to their own, including individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD). The impacts of language loss, as well as language revival for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will be examined, with a focus on the relationship between language, health and wellbeing.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
