On the third last day of the course, show the video "American Tongues,"

to demonstrate some of the variety of dialects in American English.

---------------



I am writing to ask if anyone would be willing to share course

materials with me for an introductory History of the English language

course for undergraduate non-ling majors. It will be my first time

teaching this course.



I am reviewing Pyles & Algeo and Baugh & Cable as texts; any other

suggestions or any remarks on these two would be appreciated.



I am particularly interested in supplementary reading suggestions and

suggestions for video materials (other than 'Story of English', which

I know about), and suggestions for small projects or related books for

book report assignments. (Books should be easy enough for

non-ling. people and linuistophobes.)



If anyone would be willing to share a syllabus, or has a syllabus on

the Web, I'd appreciate seeing that too.



I will post a summary to the list. Thanks in advance!
