Subject: [EnglishLanguage 2332] subject line for topics and subtopics

 

Hello Lynda and all 

 

I look forward to "seeing" many of you on-line next week for the L2
Reading Discussion but had a question about subject lines also. 

 

If a question is in response to a topic but the response moves in a new
direction (subtopic), when should the topic line switch? In other words,
I can imagine us having a discussion under the heading of functional
reading and as part of a response someone (ok, me) might introduce the
idea of assessing functional literacy which would introduce a subtopic
(assessment). 

 

It makes sense to me to have the subject line then read "functional
literacy-assessment" so the posts would pop up for both topics if
someone searches the archives. 

 

Does that work for you (i.e., the system)?

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 2329] learning multiple languages and
othersubject lines

 

Hello, all,

 

There are several interrelated and engaging conversations going on and
many people are subscribing to the list, probably in anticipation of
next week's focused discussion on reading and adult English language
learners.  

 

I am jumping in here to remind posters to please make sure the subject
lines of their posts reflect the topics they are writing about.  This is
particularly important for the archives--subject lines that only note
the digested version of this list or which don't reflect the actual
content of emails make it more difficult to search the archives
effectively.

 

Thanks,

 

Lynda Terrill
