MODULE DESCRIPTION Introduction
The module entitled “General Translation”, Code: EE06 administered by the Faculty of EDUCATION, is designed for students of Level III, Options of English-Kinyarwanda.
Brief description of aims and content
This module introduces the basics of linguistic science, including how language is formed, processed, acquired, and used in society. It covers core topics like theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, combining theory with practical activities to build foundational linguistic skills.
Learning Objectives:
Students will gain foundational knowledge of linguistics, including its key areas and components. They will learn how language is formed (morphology), processed in the brain (psycholinguistics), and acquired (first and second language acquisition). The course also introduces language comprehension, parsing, and sociolinguistics, covering language variation, contact, and theories explaining language use in society.
Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge and Understanding
Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
i. the way that linguistic productions especially texts are embedded in individual and social contexts
ii. Relationships between language and textual, individual and social environment
iii. Ways in which theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic data can be applied to various contexts
iv. Key techniques of theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics analysis
Cognitive/Intellectual skills/Application of Knowledge

Communication/ICT/Numeracy/Analytic Techniques/Practical Skills
Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to:
ix. Apply acquired knowledge to various textual analyses
x. Present orally or/and in writing to peers knowledge acquired
xi. Demonstrate abilities to carry out theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic surveys
General transferable skills
Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to:
xii. Extend acquired knowledge to teaching languages in secondary schools
xiii. Discuss and debate a narrative text structures and other psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic patterns
xiv. Extend acquired knowledge to the theoretical linguistics analysis
xv. Extend acquired knowledge to drawing up a sociolinguistic map of Rwanda
Content /Topics Covered:
• Definition of linguistics
• Area of linguistics
• Components of linguistics
• Introduction and notion of psycholinguistics
• How language processed in our brain
• First and second language acquisition
• Language Comprehension
• Parsing
• Introduction on sociolinguistics
• Different language variations
• Factors affecting the language variations
• Language contact
• Theories of sociolinguistics
10. Learning and Teaching Strategy
- Lectures
- Individual and group works
- Reading in library and at home
- Debates, presentations
- Answering students’ questions (either in the office or class)
- Blended learning
11. Assessment Strategy
There will be continuous assessment in various ways: periodical written and oral tests basing on the various objectives and at the end there will be a final written examination covering the whole content.
12. Assessment Pattern
Component Weighting (%) Learning objectives covered
Continuous assessment 60% i-viii
Final assessment 40% i-vi, viii
13. Strategy for feedback and student support during module
Feedback will be given to students as soon as possible after evaluation. For oral tests feedback will be given immediately after presentations or debate: students will be involved in giving feedback to their colleagues. Written assignments will be marked and returned to students with as many comments as possible.
Concerning support to students they will be informed of the availability of lecturers to provide any support to students outside the class. But students will be mainly encouraged to work in groups.
Students will be learning in an interactive way using a blended mode of learning.
It will be assessed through physical and Moodle system.
