Sue Hillis Designs America the Beautiful Cross Stitch Pattern
American English
In this course, we explore the richness of US varieties of English: how they got there, their influences, and their social meaning
There is much more to the United States than politics and Hollywood. In this course, we use the lens of language to explore the cultural and historical richness of the United States of America. You might think you know America ... but do you really?
This intensive course runs for two weeks at the end of August 2020. The course will be conducted as a combination of individual or paired remote tasks, online lectures, and, barring any unforeseen changes, non-mandatory outdoor meetings. Those who have registered for the course or emailed the instructor will receive further information before the end of week 32.

Kursbeskrivningen
This course is worth 5 credits, or the equivalent of approximately 135 hours of student work. Students are assessed on a scale of 1 through 5. Assessment is continuous throughout the course, based on completion of the required tasks and participation in class activities.
Students are required to conduct individual or group-based research on at least one variety of American English. Depending on the circumstances, this information will be presented either orally, online as a Wiki entry, or both. In addition, students are required to turn in a 750–1000 word paper after the course is finished.
The course consists of a combination of lectures, individual study and project work, and group meetings.
While the class meeting time is scheduled from 1 to 4 pm every day from August 17 through August 28, we will not spend all of this time in class together. A detailed plan and schedule will be supplied to registered students on the first day of class.
