    * Identify and analyze the structural features of language, across different levels, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics

    * Apply this structural approach to describe language as it is used, including its social functions, how people learn language, and how language is used in technology

    * Recognize that there are thousands of spoken languages and hundreds of signed languages in the world

    * Identify the International Phonetic Alphabet and understand the system behind how the IPA chart is organized"
