| Title: | Re: Sociolinguistics: Projects in Large Classes? |
| Submitter: | Ashley Williams |
| Description: | Hello all,
I will be teaching a large introduction to sociolinguistics class next semester (120 students, majors & nonmajors), and I am curious if anyone has had much success in having students do group sociolinguistics projects in larger classes: something based on the readings for the course? Surveys? Interviews? Transcription & analysis? Ethnographic observations? I'm interested in getting my students to do hands-on 'real' sociolinguistics, but obviously it can be a struggle (both logistically, & grading-wise) with 120 students. Any suggestions, success stories, guidelines or ''definitely-do-not-do-this'' warnings are welcome. I'm more than happy to post a summary. Thanks for your input!
