Methodologies | Description | Qualification |
Oral presentation | You will have to do a PROJECT or oral PRESENTATION in groups between 3 and 10 people. It will consist of presenting a text--a fragment from a movie or a TV series, an interview, a comic sketch, etc--in an English variety which is considered non-standard. While presenting, students will not be allowed to read from any kind of notes. You will have to both RECORD and UPLOAD the presentation, as well as email me the SCRIPT (both in Word and PDF formats); the details and deadline will be provided in class. Finally, you will learn a non-standard English variety while you work together and, hopefully, have some fun. | 15 |
Workshop | The workshops (or "practical classes") will take place in the computer room. We will read, listen to, and analyze texts in different varieties of English. Many of these texts will be audiovisual. We might also correct assignments from previous days. I will create a FORUM on MOODLE and students will have to post their analyses and comments there; your grades in this section will depend upon the information you post on this forum. | 15 |
Workbook | In every "theory class," apart from the teacher's LECTURE, there will be a DEBATE about the READING/S of the week; at the beginning of the semester, I will leave the READER at the photocopy shop. Although the readings are mainly on language and literature, I will also provide you with information on the history, culture, geography, and other details corresponding to the places where each English variety is spoken. Students' spontaneous participation will be graded independently from the kind of oral participation which shows that you actually did the readings. Hence, SPONTANEOUS participation is worth 5% and READING-DERIVED participation 15% of the total of this section. You are required to do a thorough reading of each assigned text, which implies that you take some notes. You must come to class ready to ask questions and give your opinion during the lecture and discussion. I will assess most of your readings orally; however, if it were necessary, I can also ask you to take a written test. |

Supervised projects | You will have to write TWO individual PAPERS in MLA style (between 500 and 750 words EACH ONE). Once I have corrected the first one, you will have to rewrite and return it to me again. If you don't submit the rewritten version, I will not give you a grade. The second paper will only be submitted once; however, you will have to take into account the suggestions I gave you the first time. The FIRST PAPER is worth 20% and the SECOND ONE 30% of the total of this section. Although the "topics" of the papers are free, the structure must be the following: -Title -Introduction -Thesis Statement -Body -Conclusion -Works Cited -Appendix The list of Works Cited will have to include (at least): -one book chapter, -one academic article accessed through the JSTOR database from our library website The rest of the guidelines will be provided in class. |
