Dear Marcela,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that nowadays a good English teacher must know and dominate the Linguistics fields. It means, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics and Phonology in order to teach EFL.
Our matter of study is Phonology and we need to focus in English Phonetics and Phonology. Also, this chapter talks about the different accents and dialects in English. However, you didn't mention anything about it.
