A2 lesson 10/10/14

A2 gorgeousnesses,

I have little or no voice again today so I will come around and do 1-1s while you continue working on your analysis of the transcript. I also need you to set targets to put onto the reporting system. Can you set yourself a SMART target first, please (e.g. learn 6 new terms every week), then go on to do the analysis asap.

Here's the link to the video.

1) look at Zach's non-standard language (done last lesson)
2) annotate my CDS techniques
3) summarise what is happening in terms of activity and interaction and language development
4) quantify some interesting aspects of the data e.g. closed/open questions, non-standard pronunciation patterns, turn lengths etc. etc.
5) post your findings to your blog
extension: research into Vygotski's 'zone of proximal development' and look at any ways I scaffold Zach's language development

Don't forget to keep commenting on the wider reading articles on my blog and on the blogs of others. Also remember that we will be doing grammar starters from next week, so revise your grammar terminology.

Please send me your informed consent letters if you are collecting private data (particularly spoken language) with the greatest of urgency.
