Steps you need to take
There are four main steps you need to do in order to complete this assignment.

You will need to:

1. Record
2. transcribe
3. explore and
4. report on a ‘communicative event’
Dell Hymes’ ethnographic framework
You need to use Dell Hymes’ ethnographic framework which is set out in the Saville-Troike (2008) article which can be accessed via the Reading List and also found in Chapter 14 – Analysing Discourse – of your prescribed text by Holmes & Wilson (2022, p. 516).

Communicative Event – Holmes & Wilson (2023, p.521; pp.516-520)
For this assignment, a communicative event is an exchange with obvious boundaries in a typically occurring situation, where the participants have clear role relationships. You will need to provide a more detailed, referenced definition in your essay and the event you choose should conform to your definition.

Record
Collecting data for your Communicative Events
1. choose a simple spoken communicative event (CE) where the interlocutors are speaking their first language (also your first language). (NB: You can choose to be a participant-observer or just an observer. This is an exercise in self awareness as well as in careful observation, so you must be mindful of your own cultural filters).

2. plan to do an audio recording, and if possible, a visual recording of your specific communicative event. There is a plethora of electronic devices available for this, but choose something that can be turned on without participants’ knowledge. You want an AUTHENTIC, SPONTANEOUS event, not something staged by well-meaning “actors” (See 4. Privacy and confidentiality issues).

3. Keep the recording short so that you can give a detailed description and in-depth analysis of it. (Half a minute is likely to be adequate, but five minutes is definitely too long. If you are only audio-recording it and the interlocutors are face-to-face, take care to try to note and write down all the gestures and facial expressions used as soon as possible after recording the communicative event.)

4. choose an event of a type, which occurs fairly regularly so that your intuitions about social norms and conventions can be explored and validated by reference to similar situations in your experience.

Some examples which have been successful in the past include a short telephone conversation, a short chat with a neighbour over the back fence about the weather, ordering a meal in a restaurant, the beginning of a lesson in your classroom, buying cough medicine at a pharmacy, buying the daily newspaper, and making a withdrawal at a bank.

Privacy and confidentiality
Ideally, the person in your communicative event will not know that they are being recorded. This will ensure that the communicative event is authentic and not staged.

If you feel uncomfortable recording without the participant’s knowledge, choose to use a communicative event with a family member or close friend, who you know will not mind.

After the communicative event has finished, you will need to tell the other person(s) that you recorded the conversation, explain the purpose of the recording, how it will be used, and seek their permission to use it in an assignment. Very rarely people will not give permission, in which case you will need to delete the recording and seek out another situation.

If there is the possibility of a breach of confidentiality, you should get signed written permission from your participant/s and include it as a scanned appendix to your essay.

Sample letter of permission

I, ____________________, give permission to ____________________ (your name) to

use her/his observation of me in her/his assignment for the University of New England.

Signature ______________________________________

Date ______________________________________

Transcribe
According to the Communication Research Net, ‘Transcribing is the process of representing, in written form, some stretch of lived activity. The resulting transcription provides a document that is easily perused and examined, and in a variety of institutional settings it serves as the official record of the actual proceedings’.

Before you begin to record your Communicative Event click on the following link to view the following video to see how the Jefferson Transcription method is used. You should consider how you will adapt this method of transcription to your situation. We don’t expect that you will become proficient in transcribing at this level but this video will provide you with a guide for the basic requirements for transcribing.

When writing up your transcription:

Give participants’ pseudonyms (A, B, C, etc., letters of their first names, or P1, P2, etc.). If you choose to use full names as pseudonyms, then make sure that these are not participants’ real names.
If your data are not in English, provide both a transcription in the language of the data and an English translation.
Although several different transcription methods are used in the readings, you are to use the recommended one in the unit. You will find that the concentration and detail required to transcribe your CE will help you pinpoint some of the intricacies, which you would not otherwise notice.Transcribe

Report on a communicative event
Model for your written assignment
Under Assignment 1, I have provided a model from a previous year. You should not copy anything from this example, but it does provide a good structure for this assignment. While this model was based on a radio interview. I would recommend that you use a more personal text for your transcript and written report.

How to structure your report
Introduction
Clarify and reference your understanding of what a communicative event is
Give a brief description of your Communicative Event
Explain how the CE was recorded and note any issues of “observer paradox” which may have distorted the data
Provide full details based on Del Hymes’ ethnographic framework (using headings)
Explain why it is useful for language teachers to be aware of the complexity of authentic, everyday discourse.
In your conclusion, draw together the key points about your Communicative Event and briefly discuss the implications for you as a teacher in your particular context.
In the section using Del Hymes’ framework, you need to comment on each of the eleven components identified by SavilleTroike (2008) and Holmes & Wilson (2022, p.516):

It is 1994, and Orenthal James Simpson has been arrested for—and charged with—two counts of
first-degree murder in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald “Ron” Goldman. Your
supervising attorney has tasked you with drafting a brief Statement of Facts for a motion they are
writing.

In writing your Statement of Facts, be mindful of the facts that pertain to each element of the
alleged offense—particularly those most favorable to your position. That said, the final product
must be a fair, accurate, and ethical presentation of the facts of the case. You are to assume you
work for the side you were assigned during the first class—that is, the opposite side for which
you expressed a preference on the first day.

A template has been provided for you to use. The assignment’s body must be typed in 12-point
font, double-spaced. There is no minimum word count, though the final product is not to exceed
three pages, including the caption and preliminary information. Proper spelling, grammar, and
punctuation will be considered, and repeated mistakes will result in a deduction.

Compose a short (0.5 – 1.5 page) essay describing the process of neoplastic cell changes. You should discuss normal cell proliferation, and identify factors leading to altered cell proliferation. You should also define malignant and benign growths, cite an example of each, and compare and contrast the two types of growths with an emphasis on physiologic consequences of each. In your essay, address and briefly explain the initiation-promotion-progression theory.

In “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr argues that the internet is influencing how we acquire knowledge and consume media. Specifically, Carr suggests that we may be losing the facility for “deep reading,” as tools like Google reduce the effort needed to find information. Carr compared more traditional—non-internet—reading to the new, dominant mode of consumption: “Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet ski” (2). In 3-4 full pages, choose a (specific) form of technology (not the internet or Google or cellphones) and argue for its unintended consequences.

Assignment Prompt
For this assignment, you will be writing an argumentative essay–a piece of writing that requires you to take a position, what rhetoricians call a claim, on a debatable topic (that is, a topic with more than one side). Specifically, you will present a policy claim where you argue for or against a change of some kind. This claim should be supported by reliable, credible evidence (i.e. scholarly sources) backed by research. In addition to presenting your claim, you will also need to acknowledge the other side, which is called the counterargument. For this assignment, you may choose your own topic. Hint: browse topics that interest you in “Opposing Viewpoints” our article database accessed through the banner.
Assignment-Specific Requirements:
Length: This assignment should be at least 750 words.
Thesis: Underline your thesis statement or the main claim of your letter.
Supporting Points: plan to develop at least three strong supporting points to accompany your thesis and at least one counter. Each supporting point should equate to at least one body paragraph.
Sources Needed: The essay should integrate at least four reliable and credible sources, to help prove the argument for or against a policy change. Be sure to use MLA guidelines for all in-text and Works Cited citations.
While we encourage you to acquire sources from Gale’s Opposing Viewpoints, you may access credible, scholarly sources from other resources. Tertiary sources, such as online encyclopedias, dictionaries, and Wikipedia, are not scholarly sources, and should not be cited within your work; however, they may offer helpful foundational information as you develop your understanding of an issue. (For more information, please review Berkley University’s resource on scholarly and popular sources: “Evaluating Resources.”)

Rhetorical Mode
When we talk about argument writing, we are not talking about an emotional and heated argument, but one that is neutral in tone and uses evidence/facts to convince your readers of a claim. Your argument is your claim, or the point that you want to convince readers of–in this instance, you will be making a claim for or against a policy change. Because everything depends on the strength of this claim (and the supporting points that you use to scaffold it), the organizational structure of an argumentative essay is incredibly important to its success. Every idea, topic sentence, paragraph, and page should always align with your argumentative claim. Be sure that you use scholarly evidence purposefully to support the claim you are making and do not veer too much into exploratory or informative writing, which is trickier than it sounds. You’ll also need to think carefully about how to integrate researched evidence with your own ideas, to build a fully developed and supported stance throughout. Finally, you will want to acknowledge the counterargument in the body paragraphs, even if you cannot refute it entirely.
Rhetorical Considerations
Purpose:
Remember that this is an argumentative essay: that means your goal is to prove your claim for or against a policy change to readers. This piece of writing should be aimed at convincing readers through the inclusion of a strong argumentative thesis, specific supporting points, acknowledgment of the counter, and carefully chosen scholarly evidence.
Audience:
The argumentative essay is written for someone else–a community of readers that is most impacted by the policy you are proposing to change (or keep the same). In this instance, you are writing to argue for or against a change (and thus convince readers that a change should or should not occur). Keep this audience in mind by angling everything in your essay towards a strong argument that can appeal to a more general population.
Form:
This is a formal writing project, written in third-person, relying on strong organizational strategies, integrating researched evidence (the academic sources you choose), and following MLA formatting guidelines.
