Although they may have a good grasp of English grammar and vocabulary, many non-native speakers still struggle to be understood when speaking. As teachers, our first instinct is to teach them proper pronunciation—that is, the proper enunciation of particular sounds—but just as or even more important are proper stress and intonation within words and thought groups. Much information in English is conveyed through these other aspects of spoken English, and without instruction in these areas, non-native speakers often remain poorly understood even with good pronunciation. This 90-minute workshop will teach strategies for building awareness of all three elements in students as well as for their practice of them. Sample exercises and handouts will be provided.

One of the interesting things about archival records is that it’s not just about “famous” people. Materials in the MIT Institute Archives and Special Collections are original and unique and can give voice to many stories or pieces of stories. This session is informal and hands on– we’ll have a variety of examples for you to look at, examine, and listen to so you can “meet” people who were at MIT before you. Your story could be here in the future. Come and see what we have.

The MIT Libraries strives to meet the varied needs of the MIT community. Over the past 14 years, we’ve supported and seen considerable use of the MIT GIS Lab. We’re now exploring potential additional services, including visualization software and a visualization lab. Join us for this informal discussion and share your ideas of what a visualization lab might need to look like to meet your needs. All MIT community members are welcome. Your ideas will help inform our services and will be shared with the Ad Hoc Task Force on the Future of Libraries at MIT.

Play wiffle ball, a form of baseball played with a lighter bat and ball and a smaller playing region, with other MIT students. A good activity for someone who likes baseball but doesn't want to risk severe injury from the original game.
