Tutorial with Selina Schmidt
Zeit TBA
Raum TBA
In this seminar, we will review current research on speaking and listening versus writing and reading, on orality and methods of representing speech. We will investigate both speech and written varieties with speech-like features in mediated communication contexts such as television, film, e-mail, text messaging, facebook and blogs.
In order to obtain course credit, a student must pass a short quiz in the third week of the tutorial, give two oral presentations in class and write a 12-15 page term paper. The first presentation is a reading report on a book or a few articles, and the second is on work in progress leading to the term paper. More information will be available on the English Linguistics homepage.
The tutorial with Selina Schmidt offers students an opportunity to explore methods of analyzing literary style and describing rhetorical effects in written texts generally as well as to gain practice in academic writing and oral presentation. Students who would like to participate in the seminar should contact Selina Schmidt at hsLinguistics@gmail.com. |
