Language Classes, Tuesday

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

All language students:

If you have requested to join a class, consider yourself enrolled. Class rosters will be updated throughout the week. Remember that Friday is your last day to ADD or DROP a class.

Because we have so many new people, all vocabulary quizzes are postponed until next week. We will still be doing sign-ups for class presentations this week: I would like to start those in two weeks.

I will cover last week's lectures during lab hours this week, except for Friday: this Friday's lab hours will be a showing of Wings of Desire, open to all interested students. I strongly encourage European language students to attend.

There are no office hours today but I will be available during lab hours.



[ooc: Usual deal. Talk amongst yourselves.]

History of English, TTh 3:00 - 4:00

Good afternoon, class.

Today we'll continue the discussion of the phonetic alphabet. Everyone please take a handout. There will be a quiz on the symbols next time.

I have an assignment for all of you, due a week from Thursday: find someone with an accent different from your own, record them speaking for about a minute, and try to write the differences between the way they pronounce common words and you do in the phonetic alphabet.

Sorry professor, I need to drop this course - my schedule filled up with other requirements first - maybe I can fit it in next semester.
