Sept 30, 2010 Finishing grammar presentations, selecting core questions, and a few training interviews.

After our training interviews today, and having selected seven to eight core questions that every interview must contain, we will enter into phase two of the semester: conducting three interviews, transcribing at least two, and writing country and process reports. A few samples can be found in the right margin of this blog.
Sept 7, 21, 28, Oct 4, 11 - these meetings will keep us busy with interviews and posting them. Between Oct 17 and the end of the semester, we will focus on your final paper.
