The accomplishments for this week
‘ The connotational and pragmatic implicature may exist as a result of the paradigmal intricacy between decontextualized context and lack of pedagogic background’
Running after graduate students to collect answers’ sample, I could finish the biggest part of the project I am working to finish regarding ‘register. I have conducted some interviews with TESOL students. But as TESOLers are the busy-bees of the institute. It was a painstaking job for me to get the three interviews with Patrick, Mikka, and Andrew. I working along to finish the first part of the project by merging these interviews into one video project. Zay, an MBA prospective student volunteered to help me conduct these interviews about the ‘Register’ and the ‘register samples’ that I could collect some answers from my friends in TESOL, MBA, MPA, and NPTS programs. Ia m very thankful for you Zay.
The interviews are divided into two parts. The first part is the interviews with TESOL graduate students. The second part is the random interviews with students in Monterey Institute of International Studies. I wanted to discover if this random sample of students could recognize the meaning of the word ‘register’ or not. Most of them had an idea about when to switch to high formal language and when to the informal. Some of the replies did not reflect the exact ideas of the students as they did not expect the sentence I came up with to the survey in the introduction of this blog.
