Welcome to UNT!

Hello,
I look forward to working with you in the Advanced English/Teacher Training workshop. Below you'll find a very general summary of what we'll be doing for the next two weeks. I'll use this blog to post class information, links, and other materials so you can access them when you return to UAEM.
Please purchase a small spiral notebook for Tuesday.
Thank you,
Kristan Taylor

Week 1

Rethinking: History

This week we will focus on history in various forms. First, we'll get to know each other by discussing a bit of Dallas history. You're going to Dallas on Saturday, so you'll have a let up on what you're going to see. We will also take a fast track journey back in time to study the history of English. We'll end the week by looking at verbs in a way you've never experienced.

Week 2

Rethinking: Language

This week we'll look at human language acquisition and how our first language influences our thoughts and actions, and vice-versa. We'll wrap up the week with case study presentations from our English teachers.

Please buy a small spiral bound notebook!
