L161 briefing
Monday 22 September 2014 at 10:37
Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Patrick Andrews, Monday 22 September 2014 at 16:37
I was in Milton Keynes for a briefing for tutoring on this new course (L161 Exploring Languages and Cultures) on Saturday. It looks like a very interesting course and I think students should be looking forward to doing it.
There are examples from many different languages and text types. For example, there is an interesting analysis of different kinds of menus in different kinds of contexts where it is pointed out that the categories expected on menus in Britain and the ordering of these is not the same on Chinese menus.
