Dear international members,
Grazyna Drzazga, a PhD student in linguistics, has kindly offered to hold an extended version of her “Teaching in a Different Language” workshop. The description of this workshop is as follows:
Teaching in a Different Language
Communication breakdown due to limited vocabulary is one of the biggest fears of international graduate students and teaching assistants. This workshop discusses how to compensate for linguistic imperfections. An array of strategies to overcome communication barriers will be presented and discussed.
The workshop will be held on Thursday Sept 13, from 12 noon until 3pm, at MUSC Room 213 (The MacLachlin Room). If you are interested, please email me at international@cupe3906.com to register before Wednesday Sept 12, since there is a limited number of spots. We will also be providing food to the attendees.
