Foreign languages for an experiment on writing, sound, and learning
I have posted the Olson Study Guide at Google.docs. You cannot edit the document - but you can copy it into a Word document and use it for your own purposes. We will talk about how we want to use and interact through these Study Guides more in class.
The Olson Study Guide directs reader's attention to the main ideas in the essay through asking questions => if you can answer these questions you will do well on any test on the essay's content - as well as on any examination that requires you to apply and extend Olson's ideas. The links in the document are meant to direct you to resources that can help you gather the necessary background to read this essay. It is very dense - with lots of new concepts. We will work on it together in class. Believe me - these readings get easier - it's just that all the linguistic studies are at the beginning, with all their technical language. Hang in there.
Heads up about time: It took me about 2 hours to read the essay and make the guide - I am assuming it will take you longer.
If you have questions - send me an email.
