Descriptions of Speech Acts at CARLA (Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition)
This provides examples of different approaches to speech acts such as apologies, complaints, invitations, requests, etc. across cultures. Remember these are GENERALIZATIONS. Just because a student speaks the language that is referenced does not mean they will necessarily behave that way – however, it probably does mean that they are at least aware of these norms.
Supporting students with disabilities
The intent of this website is to provide helpful information for instructors in understanding how a wide range of disabilities impact students’ learning and assessment environments. The goal of this website is to better equip instructors to support students with disabilities and to identify the institution support entities that provide accommodation assistance to both students and instructors.
