Abstract

During the Spring of 1979, four sections of Linguistics 306, a freshman level Introduction to the Study of Language, for non-majors, at the University of Texas, were devoted to 'Languages of the World'. The topic was repeated for one section in Summer 1979 and two sections in Fall 1979, the three additional sections, including one honors section, were 'variations on the theme'. These sections are generally staffed by Assistant Instructors (advanced graduate students), although regular faculty members do sometimes teach the course. Each section has a Teaching Assistant attached to it. The average class size is 30 students; classes meet for three hours a week.
