Designing language courses: working with a linguist
The Fieldwork Group in the department has just released the fifth video in a series aimed at language communities that talks about different ways that a linguist could support different projects. This video is about what to consider when developing a language course, including the goals of the class, which language variety to teach, who can teach, and how to find or create teaching materials.
The video is produced by Matty Norris (YC ‘22) and features Sigríður Sæunn Sigurðardóttir.
The series so far includes:
- General overview of how to work with a linguist
- Language projects (children’s storybook & dictionary)
- Language apps
- Increasing language exposure
- Designing language classes
