(29 April): SpeakEasy maintenance with Brett Condron. How to convey to newbies the company's "culture", expectations, and general way of operating. Importance of clear goals (and the right ones), group work, asking questions, creativity, active participation. Suggestions: intake surveys of aptitudes, experiences, personalities. Create an advisory atmosphere. Have newbies apply to departments. Linguistic issues: concept of "agency" - determining who does what (can include many grammatical & lexical features. How to convey comprehensible input (importance of authentic materials - but not sufficient in themselves).
