L101 tutor briefing

Visible to anyone in the world

I spent yesterday at the tutor briefing for the new course "Introducing English Language Studies" (L101).  It looks like a very interesting course to be working on with a wide range of materials and topic.

I like the variety of genres for assessment - tutor group forum postings for TMA 1, presentation slides and script for TMA 2, a commentary for TMA 3 and an essay for TMA 4.  This should help to raise awareness of the wide range of different uses and style of language even if they are all in an "academic context".

A very interesting article about the SATs taken a few days ago by many schoolchildren including my own son:

 Students of E303 and E844 might see links with some of the concerns of their courses.
