The meaning of specialized terms

Hi everyone,

While reading through a journal article from the course of second language phonology acquisition, I ran into some specialized terms I am not familiar with.

I am wondering if anyone knows these two terms. One is international teaching assistants (ITAS), is it an organization or?

The second is intact classes? What does this mean? (e.g. The listeners were full-time students enrolled in one of three intact daytime classes). I am quite puzzled about intact classes here.

If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks a lot

Jane

janeleo I am quite puzzled about intact classes here. I haven't heard it either, but in these days of "Video & Distance Learning," it might refer to the traditional classroom, where all the students are assembled in a "real" rather than a virtual group. ) There are plenty of Google references for ITA.

  • He's talking to his fellow ITA's).
