3 Learning Outcomes

Course Description:
The study of linguistic meaning is divided into two disciplines: semantics, which studies the
conventional meanings carried by words and sentences, and pragmatics, which studies
how speakers use words and sentences to convey meaning in context. This course focuses
on pragmatics and is organized around two main goals: a) the first is to begin to map out
some of the ways in which the semantic content of an utterance may depend on features
of the context in which it is uttered, through the study of adjective and noun meanings,
verbs and situations, figurative language, tense, aspect and modality; and b) the second
goal will be to understand aspects of meaning that depend on reasoning about speaker
intentions. We will start with Gricean pragmatics
and some subsequent refinements of it, addressing how meaning arises through
pragmatic reasoning against the background of conversational norms. We will
then consider departures from the Gricean ideal in which speakers are fully
cooperative or lying.

5 Teaching methods
Lectures, discussions and team-based project
6 Assessment methods

1. Class Participation
In order to maximize the learning opportunities in this course, students are not only required
to be present for all class sessions, having completed all necessary readings, but they are
also expected to interact with peers based on the topic of discussion.

2. Exercises
As exercises for each unit are integrated, the students must complete the exercises, submit
and discuss them. Score will be provided based on the answer key for the exercises.

3. Quiz
Quiz enables students to identify gaps in knowledge or in other words to identify how well
the students know the meaning concept. It is thus important for the students to take Quiz
along the semester. Score will be provided based on the answer key for the quiz.

4. Middle Test
This test may motivate the students to look through and revise previously learnt concepts in
 Semantics and Pragmatics. At such, taking exams motivates the students to look for study
tips and improve their studying skills, while also helping them develop self-discipline and
self-organization. It's well-known that these skills are priceless and will serve them for the
rest of their days. Score will be provided based on the answer key for the test.

5. Team-based Project (Final Test)

Through co-authorship in group essay, the students are able to improve their teamwork
abilities and collaborative thinking. The group will work started from Week 7 and follow the
steps of composing the essay as stated in Task Guideline.

6. Progress Card
A progress card is a kind of self-assessment tools built on the level of difficulty of the subject
contents. The students must tick off their progress after learning weekly. They must write
what they find and feel while learning as well, such as whether the unit is difficult or not, and
any challenging parts of learning. The students then consult the result with the teacher.

TEACHER Team
TASK FORM:
Spoken while Zooming or Written in Google Class

NAME OF TASK:
Class Participation

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME:

To carry out an active discussion

DESCRIPTION
Student engagement in class is a vital feature of their education. Students learn to
communicate in a way that others can understand when they speak out in class. They learn
how to collect information to improve their own comprehension of a topic by asking
questions. On the other hand, just as many adults find it difficult to speak in front of a large
group, many students also find it difficult to speak up in class. Therefore, the students are
encouraged to participate in written form on Google Classroom as well.

METHOD OF COMPLETION
1. Each meeting begins with a question from the teacher or the students. The
student may give response to the unit to be discussed. When at home students do
self-study and are expected not only to learn from the book used but also from
other bibliography, either from books, journal articles, or certain websites. Thus,
because students have diverse learning resources, there will definitely be different
forms of material. This is what can be used for discussion at the beginning of each
meeting.
2. After the unit and the exercises of the unit are discussed, students give responses
such as stating difficulties when doing assignments or other possible answers.

OUTCOMES
a. Object: spoken and written report
b. Outcome: discussion

Presentation skill is extremely useful both in and outside the classroom. After completing
a project, a presentation is a channel for students to share with others what they have
learned. It is also a chance to challenge and expand on their understanding of the topic by
having others ask questions.
