CAS W40 -- English Language by Rail
Professors P. Goetz and J. Vander Woude
Students explore the dialects of the English Language within a historical context. While in Great Britain, students travel by rail through different regions, collecting samples of English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish dialects and visiting important linguistic sites. By collecting samples from each of these regions, students learn about the history of English as it is spoken in the United Kingdom and Ireland as well as in the United States. Students must present on the features of the dialect samples they collect and write papers that summarize their readings, analyses of data, and interviews in each region. Students are evaluated on papers, presentations, transcriptions and discussions. This course will satisfy one elective for a Speech Pathology and Audiology major. CCE credit is also available with additional readings and journal assignments.
