AV tools for teaching intro to ling anth (esp. films, youtubes, etc)

[INMACULADA M. GARCIA-SANCHEZ]

In addition, to many of the titles that have already been mentioned here,
such as "The Linguists," "Do You Speak American?" and "Multilingual Hong
Kong"...I have also used successfully "Speaking in Tongues" (about
bilingualism, language ideologies about bilingual education, and dual
language immersion schools in the US).

Best,

Inma
