LING 102 - Introduction to the Study of Language (Fall 2021- Present). Syllabus: PDF

• Role: Instructor of Record

• Course Description: This is an introductory course on the scientific study of language. Language is a mysterious and wondrous aspect of our world. Studying language can be a great way to learn about yourselves as well as the place of human beings and human knowledge in the world. The principal objective of this course is to provide you with some basic tools for achieving this understanding. In this course we will consider topics such as, but not limited to: grammar, the acquisition of language, pidgins and creoles, language endangerment, and the connections between language, the brain, culture, politics and society at large. 

• Responsibilities: Course design, lectures (3h/week), office hours (1h/week), advising students on their midterm and final research projects, hosting writing workshops for students to write academic papers, and grading homework and research papers.

LING 105 - Language Endangerment (Fall 2022-Spring 2023). Syllabus: PDF

• Role: Instructor of Record

• Course Description: This is an introductory course that focuses on language endangerment, globalization, and indigenous peoples. Many of us in Hawai‘i are familiar with the endangerment and the subsequent revitalization efforts for Hawaiian. Still, fewer people understand that this is a global issue, not only a local one. In fact, there are around 7,000 languages in the world, and some linguists estimate that as many as half of these will become extinct by the end of this century. This would be a devastating loss to humanity in terms of not only diversity, but also scientific knowledge. Should a language disappear, so will the knowledge that is encoded within it — important cultural, historical, and scientific knowledge that is valuable to individual communities and often not yet known to outsiders.

• Responsibilities: Course design, office hours (1h/week), advising students on their midterm and final research projects, and grading homework and research papers.
