I will analyze the conversation of the second record of my group. The participants of the conversation are Aimee, An, Queenie (Qin), Henri, and me. Aimee is the native speaker of English, and others are non-native speakers of English; their native languages are Vietnamese, Chinese, French, and Japanese as the order of the names. In this conversation analysis report, I will deal with turn-taking, topics, and repair. First, I would like to focus on turn-taking. According to Wong and Waring (2010), there are three types of the turn-taking: (1) current-selects-next speaker, including address term, initiating action with gaze, and initiating action that limits potential eligible respondents, (2) next-speaker self-selection, including overlap, turn-entry …show more content…

Wong and Waring (2010) mention that address term means selecting the next speaker obviously (p. 35). The example of address term is Aimee’s utterance, “Ikuko, what’s your favorite class?” because Aimee said my name, and asked the question. According to Wong and Waring (2010), initiating action that limits potential eligible respondents is to ask questions that the person who can answer is limited although it does not seem to select anyone (p.36). There are some examples: “You have a camera? Or do you borrow it?” and “Do you like that?” In both of the questions, the names who should have answered were not mentioned, but the persons who could answer were limited. Focusing on the first question, it was only me who could answer because I said that I took photography class before An asked this question. In the second question, Queenie said, “I take sociology.” before Aimee asked this question, so this question was towards Queenie. Paying attention to the next-speaker self-selection, turn-entry device occurred. Wong and Waring (2010) indicate that turn-entry device is “a turn-initial item such as well, but, and, so, you know, or yeah which does not project the exact plan of the turn’s construction” (p.41). The following conversation (1) is the example of the turn-entry

English 1010 was an amazing class, during the period that the class was going on I was able to develop my communication skills and become aware of the world around me and how individuals operate according to what the society wants from them. The English 1010 class helped in developing a new aspect of reasoning, analyzing and drawing adequate conclusion. Furthermore I was to know the kind of informations I can take in and avoid wrong assumptions. Most class assignment were based on distinct formats which was a little difficult for me in the beginning but eventually I was able to follow the procedures which help improve my grades in other classes too. We had a discussion on rhetorical analysis where we analyze the rhetorical strategy used, I

So far in AP Language and Composition, we have learned how to critically analyze texts using rhetorical and literary analysis. I feel comfortable with literary analysis because of how frequently and often I have been doing it in the past couple of years. Regarding rhetorical analysis we have learned diverse types of appeals used in rhetoric, appealing to a reader’s emotions using pathos, an ethical appeal using ethos, or appealing to a reader’s logic using logos. These skills and concepts are completely new to me and I am still beginning to understand how to use these appeals in my writing strategically. However, I feel more confident in finding these appeals in other rhetorical texts, including ads and speeches, because of how much practice

The task at hand is to alter an English synthesis essay with a prompt dealing with coming of age from the female perspective into a history research paper dealing with coming of age through different centuries and how the social, economic, and political expectations in that time period impacted the process of coming of age. In order to change the genre and discipline to fit the requirements of a research paper about history it will be essential to change the format from MLA to Chicago. The history paper will be an analysis rather than a critical thinking assignment and will need background information from reliable sources that provide sufficient proof. In order to write a successful synthesis essay, you must gather research on your chosen topic, discover meaningful connections throughout your research, and develop a unique

Thank you for the response. I feel heard and thank you for thoughtfully considering my concerns. I think that you are 100% right in your summary about the works, and it is reassuring to know that you too felt like washing your hands after reading it haha. I will also be sure to be on the lookout for any feelings of victimization in the forum and to try and help dismantle it. I might not have spoken up, but in the Public Speaking class taught by Kelly Nickel, we were asked to alert our listeners of any speech topic that might traumatize our classmates so as to give them an option as to whether to stay and listen.

Introduction: On October 3rd, at approximately 11:30 p.m., I had the opportunity to interview one of my neighbors whom I will call Alex, in order to keep anonymity. Now, I only have known Alex since the beginning of the year. What I initially learned about her was that her parents immigrated to the United States from Bulgaria; she lived in the United States, specifically Texas, until she was ten years old. Then her family immigrated to England, where they have been living for the last eleven years. For this reason, I concluded that she would be an interesting interviewee when asked about one’s linguistic identity.

After selecting my commercial I did some research at the library using EBSCOhost. I then created an outline on what my paper would be about and pieced all of its parts together. In the future I will try to recieve help earlier on because at first I struggled to understand what the purpose of the paper was.

Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer. However, I have learned some writing skills based on the course’s teaching learning objectives that can help me in my future courses. Also, I’m glad, because my strength in writing essays have increased. Most especially, writing narrative essay in MLA formatting. I might not be an excellent writer, but I know I have not stopped learning, and I know I will get pay-off in the long run if I can keep the ongoing pace of my learning—guaranteed.

Languages are complex because they are made up of many components. Some components include the culture, meaning, and interpretation. The way people understand language has to do mostly with their culture and their understanding of what is being said. Also, depending upon where someone is raised, the pronunciation of certain words can be different and therefore it influences the understanding. My goal in this paper is to demonstrate that language and culture are intertwined.

Over the years, mass communication has been defined in several ways. While some view it as a process, others perceive it as a skill. But apart from these two classifications, I particularly view mass communication as a tool since it is an essential device that can be used in one’s everyday life. It is an instrument all humans can make use of in delivering their intended messages to their family, friends and even to strangers. Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese suggested the same perception as they proposed their theory called the Uncertainty Reduction Theory.
