ideas for methods course

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Ruth,
    It would be great if you could pursue this.  You will find some things already collected at
http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/teach/index.html
It would be great to add more materials and detailed exercises.  It doesn't matter whether or not they make
use of CHILDES materials, as long as they deal with language development.  Many thanks.
