Word Study – Fundamental Level
Important Notice
This course is not active. Please contact Department Chair for more information.
Overview
Individual programs may be designed for each student; these programs will be based on weaknesses or deficiencies diagnosed by the instructor. The course consists of the following word-analysis topics:
- phonetic rules and generalizations
- syllabication, stress and pronunciation
- structural analysis (roots, affixes)
A combination of instructional methods will be used in order to balance instructional efficiency with individual student needs. Small group instruction, individual assistance (in lab tutorial or scheduled appointments) and student directed learning will be selected where appropriate and possible. Collaborative learning will be facilitated
The student will be expected to maintain regular attendance and progress and to undertake independent learning as directed. Regular feedback and informal progress reports will be available from the instructor.
A mastery model of on-going evaluation will be used. A student will have completed the course when he/she has demonstrated through satisfactory completion of exercises and assignments that the course objectives have been achieved.
Progress will be monitored on a regular basis by the instructor in consultation with each student.
The aims of the course are for students to:
- analyze and pronounce words according to phonetic rules and generalizations, such as the sounds of vowel diagraphs;
- analyze and pronounce words according to the principles of syllabication and stress;
- analyze the meaning structures of words by using roots and affixes.
Textbooks and Materials to be Purchased by Students:
Students are required to supply a three-ring binder paper, pen and pencil
All other materials and textbooks will be available on loan from the instructor when needed.
Where possible, copies of those textbooks which are only for use in the classroom may be borrowed from the library or purchased from the bookstore.
