Advanced Analysis of English Sentence Structure I

• the important connection between syntax, morphology, and semantics
• how best to teach and integrate the practice of these features in all types of EFL lessons

Note: A strong command of English is a prerequisite for this course. (iBT TOEFL:80, TOEIC:760)
