data collection

Our first assignment is due on Tuesday in SLA (second language acquisition). The idea is to record conversation and elicited immitation from a language learner. We will have a structure/functor/phoneme in mind, and we will try to get the learner to use it in conversation. Then we will have the learner repeat back sentences (written to include the form for study). After that we will transcribe the sentences and five minutes of dialogue. After that we will analyse the dialogue using two different methods, TLU (target like use) and SOC (supplied in obligatory context). This is going to be a very interesting class!
