Dr. Mike Findlay will be at Selvester’s Cafe on Tues., April 1, from 4pm to 5pm, to discuss the special linguistic qualities of the Amazonian people, the Piraha of Brazil. Recently studied, their language offers new insights into traditional theories about human language development.

CELT Workshop: Inter-teaching: An Empirically Tested Alternative to Lectures
Presenter: Martin Van Den Berg, Ph.D., Department of Psychology
Date/Time/Place: April 3, 3:30pm - 5pm; Continuing Education 107
Are you worried that giving a lecture is not the best use of class time? Do you wish all your students would come to class prepared? Would you like more student-student and student-faculty interaction? Are you looking for a teaching method that addresses all 7 principles for good practice?
Inter-teaching is a method that focuses on active student participation. It is based on theoretical foundations and has been empirically tested, resulting in measurable increases in student learning: the 7 principles for good practice in undergraduate education come as a free bonus.
The workshop will explain what Inter-teaching is, how it works, and how you can use it in your own courses. I will give you the theoretical and empirical background, describe my own experiences with the method, and we will discuss how you can use this method, with all its benefits, in your own courses.
You can register for this and other CELT workshops online. At the registration site click on the workshop title and then click “Enroll”. You will be prompted to supply your regular user name and password.
