Description: This course traces the development of English, examining its sounds, vocabulary, and dialects and the social and political forces that have influenced it. We follow the history of English as it developed in England, the United States, and elsewhere. We explore the diversity of English, a language now used by billions, yet viewed by some as threatened and needing English-Only laws. We learn how US English differs from UK, Canadian, Caribbean, Indian, and Nigerian English. We explore diversity historically, tracing the development of English dialects and attitudes about them. Finally, we view how English, like any language, has evolved.

Objectives:

   1. Students will trace the historical relationship between English and other languages.

   2. Students will indicate the development of English in America and across the world.

   3. Students will explain the nature and development of dialect varieties of English.

Outcomes: Students who complete this course should be able to:
   1. Trace the historical relationship between English and other languages.

   2. Indicate the development of English in America and across the world.

   3. Explain the nature and development of dialect varieties of English.

Assessment goals: Students will
   1. Demonstrate through tests, projects, or participation that they can trace the historical relationship between English and other languages.

   2. Show through tests, projects, or participation that they can indicate the development of English in America and across the world.

   3. Indicate through tests, projects, or participation that they can explain the nature and development of dialect varieties of English.

Activities: Course activities may include lectures, Powerpoint presentations, video viewings with responses, online learning experiences, quizzes, tests, and other interactive modalities.

Evaluation: Methods of evaluation may include objective quizzes and tests, critical essays, or research projects and research papers, including electronic research.

Attendance: Missing classes, whatever the reason, reduces student learning opportunities and therefore typically lowers students scores and grades.
