 This short presentation introduces you to the concepts of the VLC class Introduction to Linguistics at Northern Caribbean University. In particular, we will look at the content of the class and its syllabus, provide an overview of the e-educational strategies that are applied and will finally list the requirements students have to fulfill to get the class credits. The purpose of this class is to examine the various ways in which language has been an object of study, as well as to familiarize the student with the terminology and methodology of the 20th century linguistic science. Therefore, all major branches of theoretical linguistics as well as some branches of applied linguistics will be discussed in this class. Throughout the class, students will be required to analyze language data from a variety of different languages in order to develop a feeling for and proficiency in the proper techniques of linguistic analysis. Now, Professor Handke will present the e-educational concept of this class. In traditional teaching, content delivery and content acquisition are realized in class, where several dozens of students have to gather at the same time to be entertained by their teacher. In a second phase, students practice on their own, on the basis of additional exercise material, homework tasks, etc. We will flip or invert these two activities. Content acquisition is now self-guided, takes place first and is done online. The additional in-class meeting is now dedicated to practicing, to rehearsing, to discussions, to analysis, etc. This means prior to each in-class meeting, students must have worked through the online content of the respective unit. This approach is referred to as the inverted classroom model or the flipped mastery education model. In phase one, you are now the autonomous learner. In phase two, we will meet in class where classical or frontal teaching is now out. Now the central teaching method is that of a cooperative interaction between instructor and students. The content you are given is multimodal and involves all sorts of channels. Finally, you want to know what you have to do in order to get three class credits. First of all, you have to submit all E-Worksheets of this class, four of which will be graded. And these four graded E-Worksheets will constitute 50% of your grade. The other 50% consists of one E-Exam. Now, see you on the VLC.
