How are you on this rainy day?? I hope you are great...resting, relaxing, eating tasty food...enjoying life!
About last class, we first discussed some very important general concepts about Fist Language Acquisition: why it is important for us to study the topic, which the different positions from which the topic can be studied are, and what the facts are that need to be explained by any theory of FLS.
Afterwards, yougot together in groups with a very simple activity, which had as a secondary playful effect to introduce you to the Stroop effect. Once in groups, each group picked a card with a seciotn of the chapter they had to read, summarize and explain to the rest of the class.
On the 20th there are no classes... so you have plenty of time to re read the chapter to get a better undestanding of the P and P model. You also have to read the chapter "Baby born talking describes Heaven", by Steven Pinker.
Bear in mind that we will have one more class before the term test. So, we should get together on June 27th, and have the test on July 4th. If soemething happens on the 27th, then we will have the test on July 11th.
Well, that's all for the time being....remember to keep your blogs updated!!
