Yesterday, I was interviewed on reading strategies (along with a colleague, Anna Calvi) as part of the development of listening materials for a rewrite for LB160 "Communication Skills for Business Studies" (the new module will be LB170).
It was an interesting experience. I was surprised at how quickly we finished the recording and most of it was done on the first take. One of the few parts that went to a second take were the result of my drinking some water being picked up by the microphone. Other reasons for second takes included very obvious stumbles over words and a missed cue (I though Anna was responsible for one answer I should have spoken on).
I think there will be some editing of the product but authenticity is more highly prized than linguistic polish. So, some hesitators, false starts etc will be included.
Recording some teaching materials
