By the way, the first team can be confirmed: Team German already has five members!

Josquin, I just joined with Arabic and Sanskrit in the Wikia.
Since for the time being there's a slot for Arabic, I put it there, but I sincerely doubt there will be enough demand. Time will tell. As for Sanskrit, I'd like to have an Indian team (maybe with Dravidian languages too; why not?). However, I don't think it will happen this year. Yet. I'm also interested in the Turkic Challenge. However, I'll only join it through TAC if it becomes necessary, since I wish to "dabble" and not "annihilate". For the time being, that's it. Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I joined for the three languages I am sure to study quite intensively. There is likely to
be fourth one, hopefully Swedish, but I no longer wish to be part of an awesome team where I wouldn't be an asset, so I'll leave it to others. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Joined the Scandinavian team, but not sure yet with what languages. I want to include at
least 1 West-Scandinavian language this time (Icelandic, Faroese, Nynorsk). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Signed up at the wiki for French and Indonesian. French is popular so will take care of itself but hopefully some
other Indonesian learners come along ... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I put in for Finnish, which I'm starting to feel guilty about ignoring. Time to get back to Finnish business.

I have registered on the Russian team (surprise, surprise:-) but I have resisted registering on any other teams
even as an observer. I see that I do not really have the capacity to follow and participate actively in more than one team. I still intend to follow some other logs, but then without participating in the team. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been interested in study groups for a while now. I don't think languages should be split by levels but I'm thinking a multilingual advanced and/or intermediate study group can be formed as part of the TAC or separately. I see it being very active with lots of assignments and challenges and the like. It would be focused on practicing advanced skills typically tested on for B2-C1-C2 level tests such as reading articles and nonfiction books, creating outlines, writing summaries/syntheses, engaging in written and/or oral debates based on documents (we would find a proper medium for this, such as Google Hangouts), doing oral presentations based on documents with members questioning, doing translation and transcribing exercises and the like. This last part may help unify people studying across languages (it would be interesting to do exercises comparing and contrasting how something is presented in various countries' media) otherwise there may be language "splits" though in the advanced/intermediate tier you'll have a lot of overlap. There are plenty of materials to design assignments and challenges around (advanced methods, such as Alter Ego 4 and 5 for French, the TV5 Monde and RFI sites have a lot of pedagogical guides to their content, etc). If anyone is interested in making this a TAC group (as this is how I would work at "annihilating" French and poses and challenge to me) then those of us interested should form a team. Otherwise we can form a study group outside the confines of the TAC. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
