Assistant Professor Robert Bern of CUFS University showcases online instruction at CUFS in his colloquium presentation.
The Linguistics Department hosted a series of colloquia covering a wide range of topics and themes.
Students benefited from the colloquia in developing their skills as researchers and as academic writers, noting that the “sessions have been extremely helpful on a practical level, providing useful information that I can immediately apply in classes” (Zoe Zawadzki, Linguistics MA student), and also that “the exposure to actual studies being done in the field of linguistics enriches the academic experience beyond the four walls of the classroom” (Lisa Weyand, Linguistics MA student). During the academic year of 2017-2018, the department hosted a total of 16 colloquium sessions, in which faculty and invited speakers spoke on the practical aspects of conducting linguistic research, as well as ongoing cutting-edge linguistic studies. The invited speakers were from the Ohio State University (Dr. Kathryn Campbell-Kibler), from South Korea (Dr. Keeseok Cho and Robert Bern) from Japan (Dr. Tomohiro Yanagi and Dr. Tomomasa Sasa), and also from Ecuador (Dr. Marleen Haboud). We would like to thank the following speakers for their talks:
