[Edling] TeachLing annual recruitment drive!

[Dave Sayers via Edling]

Hello one and all...

It's that time of year again: the annual recruitment drive for TeachLing, the world's 
biggest online community for university linguistics teaching! As the seasons change, 
so too do many people's careers - taking up a first teaching post, moving from one 
post to another, or perhaps gathering a collection of them. All are welcome! We 
currently have 977 members from all over the world; will you be the 1000th?

Teachling hosts regular useful discussions about a delightful diversity of 
pedagogical topics and subdisciplinary areas. We talk about everything from the 
latest innovations in technologically enhanced techniques to the grand old traditions 
of walk, talk and chalk. Come and join the fun!

I also usually take this opportunity to remind everyone of a resource I put together 
in 2014, and which I've kept updating since: a full list of all the 
linguistics-related strips from my favourite web comic, XKCD! 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a5NVCfw1wLiq6ySgIFjBpyflv4QVbUJysatEegEfjL0/. 
Useful in bringing presentations to life. For other comics related to linguistics, 
there's also this page by Hal Schiffman (U Penn): 
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/plc/clpp/images/cartoons/cartoons.html. (Discussions on 
TeachLing are usually more pedagogically robust, honest.)

So, hopefully all that is enough to entice you into the warm embrace of our little 
community. If so, add your name and email address here: https://goo.gl/34wVVk. 
(People on mobile gadgets will need to install the Google Docs app first.)

Please forward this message far and wide, and please share the tweet announcement 
too! https://twitter.com/DaveJSayers/status/1441288814442409986

See you on TeachLing :)

Dave
