Welcome to the IA902 Blog

This is a blog for thoughts, discussions, and links to supplement the IA902 Practical Description of English module, Autumn 2013. Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions, and indeed write your own posts. We only have 10 2-hour classroom sessions together, so it is hoped that this blog will give us the chance to explore a wider range of issues than we might otherwise have time for.

Follow-up to session one

Today's session was mostly introductory and I was very happy to find that the group are friendly and enthusiastic.  The powerpoint slides I used are available on moodle.  Full reading lists and assignment questions will follow shortly, and we'll be able to look at them in our week 3 session.

If you're not already familiar with phonemic script, please make use of the interactive version of Adrian Underhill's phonemic chart hosted on the Onestop English website.  For a more animated exploration (and for a taster of one or two things we'll do in Session 2, click on the screencap below to visit a rather nice website run by the University of Iowa:
