All the things you’ve done…<br /><br />Thanks for your interest in my work. Our thesis (my partner and I were allowed to work in pair because we had to triangulate data) is to be submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of “Licenciado en Inglés” (roughly a BA in English language).<br /><br />I don’t know how much Laurie told you about the topic. I’ll tell you about just a few details here. We studied the impact of the teachers’ representations about English language teaching on the curriculum implementation at state secondary schools in Buenos Aires.<br /><br />We compared their on-the-spot decision-making procedures with their verbalisations in order to determine whether there was a mismatch between what they think they do and what they actually do in the classroom.<br /><br />We applied Appraisal Theory (Jim Martin & Peter White) and the Theory of Representations (Serge Moscovici, Ivana Marková & Alejandro Raiter) to analyse the data and now we’re writing the conclusions.<br /><br />Well, this is a very brief summary. I’d like to have a chance to talk over these issues with you whenever you can make.<br /><br />Kind regards :)<br /><br />Mx<br />@ the chalkface in a digital agehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039322498831456577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707015455581455808.post-86530709750677708452013-02-01T10:42:10.132-03:002013-02-01T10:42:10.132-03:00Hi Max - took me a while to get here, I had troubl...Hi Max - took me a while to get here, I had trouble getting online last week - but anyway, better late than never I always say..<br />So you're in Laurie's other mooc, et, is that right, and not in edc mooc?<br />I had a quick look at etmooc and decided I already have far too much to do and don't have time for it just now - hope you're all enjoying it<br /><br />Your thesis topic sounds interesting. As part of my PhD thesis I'm currently looking at how teachers across various disciplines (university context) interpret certain keywords, as I believe it has a great influence on their pedagogy. A few details of stuff I've done before are here if you're interested (though it's a bit out of date) http://www.open.ac.uk/researchprojects/systemic-functional-linguistics/p2_6.shtml <br /><br />happy to discuss this kind of stuff any time - <br />best wishes, <br />- Emilye-purserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953233856385977665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707015455581455808.post-89035242401931163882013-01-26T20:01:21.299-03:002013-01-26T20:01:21.299-03:00Hi Laurie!

She is in the field of linguistics. I believe that she's taught in Germany and China. I know that she's involved in research, perhaps her dissertation. <br />Hope that you can make a connection!<br />Laurie<br /><br />lsniestrath.wordpress.com<br />Laurie Niestrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291124567090938596noreply@blogger.com
