| Title | Call for Multimedia Linguistics Teaching Materials |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1866.html#2 The linguistics department at the University of Maryland is changing much of its introduction to linguistics course. The course is taken entirely by non-linguistics majors (though, we hope some of them become intrigued enough to go on to majoring in linguistics). We are asking for your help in acquiring digital multi-media teaching demonstrations and tools in an effort to make the course more engaging for these kinds of students. I know that there have been several requests for this type of material before on the LINGUISTList. But seeing as how fast technology changes, and how fast websites come and go, I thought it was time for another try. I will, of course, make the information that I receive available in a summary (in fact, I might put together a website with links, downloads, etc.) We are looking for pictures, sound and video files that deal with any aspect of linguistics that you use in your linguistics courses, i.e., phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax. But, we are especially interested in examples that demonstrate principles in sociolinguistics, animal communication, sign language, pragmatics, writing systems, acquisition, and psycholinguistics. We are not asking for your teaching materials, i.e., slides, class notes, etc. Just the multimedia examples or demonstrations that you might use to help teach a particular point. For instance, we are looking for things like: audio/video clips of babies cooing, babbling, etc., video of ASL or Nicaraguan Sign Language that demonstrates a particular grammatical example, audio of Hawaiian Creole, or the stimuli used in a famous experiment, etc. If you have multi-media materials that you would like to share with us, please send an email to me at: swfwam.umd.edu. Please include the following along with the email: 1) the file or a link to the file 2) your name and affiliation 3) whether there are any copyright restrictions on the material 4) whether or not you would like the file to be freely available on our website 5) any other comments or instructions that you think are relevant Thank you, Scott Fults University of Maryland, College Park |
