Include a total of 10-15 examples (at least 2 examples per areas listed above) from your taped and transcribed sample and analyze how they differ from standard discourse. In other words, what linguistic problems are faced by the interlocutors? What misunderstandings are caused by their linguistic and cultural differences? Use your textbook and class notes extensively.
III. Discussion and Conclusions (3 points)
Discuss your findings in light of the task facing ELLs. At a minimum, be sure to answer the following questions in your discussion:
Q1 — What can help ELLs overcome the difficulties the actors/characters faced in the conversation?
Q2 — Can TV and other media be used to help ELL students (or your teacher candidates)?
Q3 — What kind of instruction or remediation would you plan for your ELL students based on the problems/issues presented within your sample?
