Language & Foundation Studies Centre  This course builds on and
extends the principles introduced in EPHUMA149 The Study of
Language 1 as it provides students with further insight into the
human language system and the language choices we make every
day.  Topics include how people convey meaning in language,
Australian Aboriginal languages, how Australian English
developed and how it differs from other varieties of English,
the sounds of language and how they are used, how language,
culture and society are related, how words and languages are
created, how gender plays a role in language, and how the brain
is vital to language.  The topics and assessment items aim
engage the students' learning experience through a variety of
approaches, allowing for different learning styles. As with
EPHUMA149 The Study of Language 1, skills necessary for
undergraduate study are emphasised and further developed in this
course.  Available in 2014  Callaghan CampusSem
