Is it OK if I am reading this on my smartphone?
No. Please do not access Canvas through a smartphone. It is possible, but it is not convenient, and it can make things confusing and difficult. Always use your laptop/desktop to access Canvas, Zoom or any other online learning tools. More generally, you should not do any of your course work on a smartphone. Use your laptop/desktop instead.

The course book is the 8th edition of The Study of Language by George Yule. Please get the eighth edition unless you already own a copy of another recent edition. If you do use an older edition, please note that all the page references in the course materials will be to the 8th edition.
