first session

Dear diary,

 

...here I go again on my own, walking down the only road I've ever known..." (whitesnake)

 

Our first session starts with a very nice song of John Lennon. It puts me into good humour, so I thought about an appropriate song for my first "session entry". Whitesnake with "here I go again on my own" crossed my mind first and I think it fits perfectly to my new situation.( I put it on this homepage first, but then a good soul told me that I am not allowed to offer free musicdownloads. UPS. Of course I erased it immediatly. So for all those who like to hear the song while reading, I have two possibilities: You have to hum the song along while download the original text, or I will rend you my CD... :-)

 

Mr. Gibbon starts with some organisational details. Then we had a closer look on the main issues of language. It was fascinating to see the connections between the different language (especially Hungary and Finish). then we started with a quizz.

 

Quizz:

 

1. why is a potfolio important?

 

It is important because it provides a wide range of material. Aditionally it afford the opportunity to reflect the single sessions again. That will help to store and retrieve the pieces of information easier.

 

2. what should a portfolio contain, and how are these components defined?

 

The portfolio should contain summaries of the lectures, which doesn’t mean a flow trace but a result memorandum. That means we don’t have to reflect the session word by word, but rather focus on the most important facts and the pieces of information we found interesting. Aaditionally it should include the answered quizzes,  and finished tasks aswell as a glossary of all important terms. The glossary should include important terms aswell as unknown terms, with a definition.

 

3. Why should the portfolio be on a webpage?

 

It provides an easy access and interaction than via paper or email. Besides it offers means f becoming familiar with everyday use of electronic media (especially important for all, who like to become teachers.) it is a sourse of material for the whole class and a form of applied text linguistics.

 

4. How do you make a website?

 

It is possible to run our own web server, for example on a DSL line or with the Apache server. Furthermore we are allowed to use the university website to upload our own html files. The last presented option was to use blogging software and make a webblog (blog).

 

5. what is a website?

 

A website is a hypertext document with embedded document objects, linked document objects and therefore it is a text.

 

6.What is a hypertext?

 

A hypertextdocument is a text either with conventional hierarchical parts or as a complex network of parts. Hypertext is a way of organizing material that attempts to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional text and in particular its linearity (www. Wikipedia.com) For example: Any document on the World Wide Web, electronic dictionary, blog, e-commerce site, online Encyclopaedias like the Encyclopaedia Britannica or the Brockhaus. But the most important is the World wide Web itself.

 

7. What is a text, what are its main properties?

 

In linguistics a text is a communicative act, fulfilling the seven constitutive and the three regulative principles of textuality. Both speech and written language, or language in other media can be seen as a text within linguistics. (www.wikipedia.com). I was not able anymore to understand the foils. I hope I will find some answers in the next session.

hear you next week,

Sandra
