Good afternoon CLB 7/8,
Following up on our conversation from the other day about language families, here's a diagram of the Indo-European family, which includes most of the languages in our class. In the bottom right corner, you will see 'Finno-Ugric/Uralic.' Some linguistics believe that Turkish belongs in the same family as Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonia (to name a few), but other linguistics are not so certain, thinking that it belongs to the 'Altaic' family.
For today, we're going to work on some listening and speaking exercises. Please begin with the handout. In the handout, you will begin with a reading task before moving on to listening and speaking.
Here's the link for the podcast: http://www.cbc.ca/manitoba/eal/media/nov16_2011.mp3
Here are some more strategies for listening and note-taking.

The final part of the handout mentions a short speaking task which will be completed on Monday, November 24th. If you choose another topic, please check before you begin your preparations.
Enjoy!
