 Welcome to this virtual classroom
If you have logged in to this learning space -- in form of a web application called a wiki -- as a guest, I hope you find some useful ideas or information here.

This classroom space is for English Language teacher trainees at National Teachers College Muni (NTC Muni, in short) -- one of five NTCs offering Kyambogo University's Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education. The content covered in this space is **DELS 123: Psycholinguistics I**, one of several course units in the Year 1 English Double Main syllabus for initial secondary school teacher trainees.

To the teacher-trainee:
This wiki allows you to make contributions and work collaboratively. It is our wiki, our "learning workshop" space: yours and mine. Together, we make it work for us. Make the best use of it.

Getting Started:
To see an overview of how we shall cover DELS 123 Psycholinguistics I, click here. The subsections are outlined in the side column to your left. Click on the page you would like to read or make contribution to and. . . . get going!

Note that once you have logged in here as a member (rather than as a guest), that means you have permission to make contributions, that is to write new content or edit content posted in this learning space. If you have problems doing so, please do not hesitate to let the administrator know. Note that you can only edit the content in pages that do not have a "locked padlock" icon at the top right side of the page you are in. You can, however, edit or make contributions in the discussion pages related to such pages.


 * ===To make contributions to an existing page (//ALWAYS check to ensure that the page does not have the "locked padlock" icon before the title of the page)//:===
 * Click on the edit button at the top-right corner of the page you have opened. This will re-open the same page and enable you to make changes or make your own content.
 * **Don't forget to click on the " save " button** (in the top right corner of the page) **BEFORE** you quit the page you are writing in, or else . . . vuuuum - all your efforts will be "lost" in cyberspace.
 * ** Lets get going: Click on the page " Practice working in a wiki " (see left-side column). Make a contribution there. **


 * ===To make contributions to discussions related to a page //which HAS a "locked padlock" icon//:===

 * Click on the Discussion tab
 * Select and click on the discussion you would like to read or contribute to.
 * Make your contribution. NOTE: For entries via the Discussion page, you do not need to "save" your contribution as entries are automatically save. You only need to click on the **Post** button and your contribution will be posted!


 * ===**To create your own page:**===
