Lecture: Barbara Schmenk

7 October 2008

Lecture: Barbara Schmenk

Professor Barbara Schmenk gave a lecture on "Internationalization, autonomy, globalization: Some thoughts on weasel words in language education" based on her recent book: Schmenk, Barbara (2008) Lernerautonomie. Tübingen, Germany: Gunter Narr Verlag.

Weasel words are words that look like normal words, but a closer look reveals that they are emptied of their meanings and in fact linguistic placebos. (read more in the December 2008 Newsletter on www.germanstudies.ca)

The event took place on 7 October 2008.
