it's a linguistics course for 2nd term students.Originally Posted by kathycf
they have to read articles and give presentations in my bosses class. basically, they learn about the same things they did in the foundation course (phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics)in greater detail and also learn about some new topics.. (e.g. pidgins and creoles, different dialects and accents)
my job will be to revise with them what they did in class and answer their questions. that's what i do in the tutorial for the foundation course... but it might be different for the advanced course, seeing as they don't have a text book that they have to learn by heart, but have to read actual academic articles and gain a deeper understanding of the texts.
maybe I'll set them questions to keep in mind as they read the texts, so they'll be able to identify the main points and arguments...
hehe, well, that will be next term (starting October).. this term has only just started. it's the first week

. And I'm not saying this just because my last term's tutorial was such a waste...
