We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear fellow linguists,

I was wondering if anyone knows of good online courses (in the U.S.) 
that cover the material of a typical Introduction to Linguistics class. Intro 
to Linguistics is a pre-requisite for students in our MA in TESL 
program, and occasionally students ask if they can fulfill the 
requirement via an online course. I would like to find a regularly offered 
online course that I could suggest to them. The course would need to 
cover standard Intro to Linguistics content, including introduction to 
phonetics/phonology, morphology/syntax, and semantics/pragmatics, 
and preferably also include something on language acquisition. I would 
appreciate any information and links, and will post a summary based on 
responses that I receive. 

Thank you in advance!
