First time out...

Today was my first lecture on speech impact for Advertising majors. The students are cool, many are working in the field already, so it was sort of challenging. And interesting. The class ran for 4 academic hours, in the first part I spoke about what's language all about, and the second was about speech impact proper. First impression: I can do better. Second impression - how different is the perception of some issues. It looks like within a course that short, I must stay within the limits of the language, and not stray aside to the general semiotics. But bst of all - I feel they need the stuff I'm trying to teach them. We're meeting again in two weeks, for a practical training, let's see what will be.
