Subject: Re: Natalie, how 'bout this idea?



The several requests I received for syllabi for the Am. Lg. course,

combined with a conversation with a colleague, have made me wonder

if this would work for us. She is on a discussion list where a

part of the archives consists of syllabi that several people have

sent in. There is another section with bibliographies. And a film

review section.



Could we solicit syllabi for dialect-related courses and set up a

place for them on the web page. Not being a veteran teacher, myself,

I would find this very helpful. Ellen



If you undertook this project in a big way and added vowel and consonant

charts, bibliographies, exercises, useful photographs, maps, and

click-and-hear-dialect-variation icons, you could apply for an NEH

technology development grant of $25,000. The deadline for the next go

around is April 18, I believe.



I am working on one such grant locally on a different topic, but I would be

willing to help develop such a useful Web site. It would be nice to have a

site that covered the entire history of the English language and provided a

plethora of useful materials.
