MY EVALUATION CRITERIA
On March 30th (at Trinity College in Rome) or on March 31st (at Roma Tre) many of you had the opportunity to record a brief conversation with an American student. You were supposed to ENTER INTO THE MENTALITY AND SPEECH PATTERNS OF YOUR DOUBLE, then interview an American student about Honesty in the U.S. and Italy while you verify if YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY and if your INTERLOCUTOR REACTS DIFFERENTLY when you switch between scholastic English and your double's English. Now, for Task 2, write a report about this experience.
CASE 1. IF YOU HAVE RECORDED YOUR VOICE (AS YOURSELF AND AS YOUR DOUBLE) PLUS YOUR INTERLOCUTOR'S VOICE, your report should contain:
1. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) while you were your double.
2. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) while you were yourself;
3. a description of the differences (if any) in your English in each case;
4. a description of the differences in the reaction of your double to your English in each case.
CASE 2. IF YOU HAVE RECORDED YOUR VOICE (BUT ONLY AS YOURSELF, NOT AS YOUR DOUBLE: OR ONLY AS YOUR DOUBLE, NOT AS YOURSELF) PLUS YOUR INTERLOCUTOR'S VOICE, your report should contain:
1. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) in which the communication was NOT good because you did not understand or because your interlocutor did not understand you or because of some other reason:
2. the transcript of a short exchange (approximately 4 utterances) in which the communication was PARTICULARLY GOOD because you understood
3. a description of the differences (if any) in your English in each case;
4. a description of the differences in the reaction of your double to your English in each case.
CASE 3. IF YOU DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE A RECORDING BUT YOU DID HAVE A CONVERSATION AS YOUR DOUBLE AND AS YOURSELF, do as in Case 1 but instead of a recording put down what you remember about each of the 4 points. You will receive one point less for your work. If I have the impression that you did not have a conversation and you are inventing one, I will ignore the Group Leader's mark and give you a zero. Plus we will have a little discussion together..
CASE 4. IF YOU DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE A RECORDING BUT YOU DID HAVE A CONVERSATION AS ONLY YOURSELF, do as in Case 2 but instead of a recording put down what you remember about each of the 4 points. You will receive one point less for your work. If I have the impression that you did not have a conversation and you are inventing one, I will ignore the Group Leader's mark and give you a zero. Plus we will have a little discussion together.
CASE 5. IF YOU DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN EITHER ENCOUNTER, your task is to read “Usages, Competence and Understanding in the Transcultured Speaker” by Patrick Boylan which you will find on the class web site under RESEARCH TASKS / TASK 2 & 3. This article explains and justifies the kind of language learning experience that we conducting in this class. You will write a report, two or three pages long, in which you defend or contest the views expressed. Do not be afraid to criticize the method or the ideas expressed. I am interested in what you think and how well you express your arguments.
IN ALL 5 CASES YOU WILL GIVE YOUR GROUP LEADER (L4)
--your report (this will count as Task 2)
--the recording you used for your report (if any)
--and a copy of your FINAL Identi-kit (I will have sent him/her the copy you sent me but you can give him an improved version). This will count as Task 3.
Your Group Leader will give me all the the reports, recordings and Identi-kits for your group, together with two marks: one for your Interview Report (from 0 to 5 points ) and one for your Identi-kit (from 0 to 5 points). EXCEPTION: If, instead of an interview, you wrote a report on my article (CASE 5), your Group Leader will give you only one mark: the one for you Identi-kit. I will give you the mark for your report.
