Tapescript
(Note: There is no Listening recording for this tapescript.)
You will hear a Communication Studies student talking to his tutor about optional courses for the next semester.
Dr Ray Come in. Oh hello Alan. Have a seat. Right ... you said you wanted to see me to talk about your options next semester?
Jack That's right. We have to decide by the end of next week. Really, I'd like to do all five options but we have to choose two, don't we.
Dr Ray Yes, but the choice depends on your major to some extent. You're majoring in Communication Studies, aren't you?
Jack That's right.
Dr Ray So for example the Media Studies Option will cover quite a lot of the same area you did in the core module on mass communications this semester - the development of the media through the last two centuries, in relation to political and social issues.
Jack Mmm. Well that was interesting, but I’ve decided I'd rather do something completely new. There's a Women's Studies option, isn't there?
Dr Ray Yes, 'Women and Power' – again it has a historical focus, it aims to contextualise women's studies by looking at the legal and social situation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries …
Jack So it would be useful if I intended to specialise in women's studies ... but I'm not sure I do actually.
Dr Ray Well, it might still be useful to give you an idea of the issues involved. It's taught by Dr Steed.
Jack Oh, really? I'll sign up for that, then. What about the option on Culture and Society?
Dr Ray That addresses the historical debate on the place of culture since the Industrial Revolution in Britain.
Jack So a historical focus again ...
Dr Ray Do I get the message you're not so keen on history?
Jack Well, it's just we seem to have done quite a lot this semester …
