This assignment involves collecting a small sample of empirical data, and writing a report based on the analysis of this data. The aim of this exercise is for you to get a feel for what is involved in collecting and analysing second language data. Since not all candidates will have previously completed a research methods course.
Choose one of the following alternatives in order to collect some data from someone who has learnt a second or foreign language either formally or informally. Remember that you will need to transcribe the discourse you elicit and so you should record it on audio tape or digital media. Before collecting the data, check that the equipment and the way that it is set up will provide you with a recording of sufficient quality to enable you to transcribe the data.
Before embarking on the project you should consider the question you are interested in. What you are interested in investigating will determine the topic you choose to undertake. For example, you might want to explore issues of motivation(specific topic not in general ) or learning strategies as they relate to a particular learner, in which case you would design and carry out a structured interview. Alternatively, you may wish to examine aspects of your chosen learner’s interlanguage, in which case you would design a performance task to focus on the points of language that you wanted to investigate.
As you plan and carry out your data collection and analysis, it may help to keep the following points in mind:
• The study should have an aim, but this aim can focus on the individual learner, and can involve simply gaining a clear understanding of one aspect of SLA as it applies in this particular learner’s case.
• The study and findings should be situated within the context of the research literature (i.e. it is very important to relate your findings to a number of articles that you have read). The assignment should demonstrate that you are able to talk about these issues as someone who has read and thought about the relevant area of SLA). Students completing this assignment in previous semesters have commented that it is much easier to do this when the interview or performance task is designed with the relevant body of research literature in mind.
• The conclusions drawn should be appropriate to the amount and type of data collected and analysed. This means expressing ideas with an appropriate degree of tentativeness, and taking care not to overgeneralise from a very limited data sample.
The data that you analyse should come from one of the following sources:
Option 1: A structured interview. This is the option that you would choose if you wanted to investigate an individual’s experiences, perspectives or beliefs on one aspect of their second/foreign language learning. Before doing the interview, think about the research question(s) you are asking and the information that you need to obtain to answer this question. You can use the research literature to help you to frame your questions. Your interview should last at least fifteen minutes.
OR
Option 2: A performance task. If your main aim is to elicit a sample of language for the purposes of analysing particular features of the learners’ production, this is the option that you would choose. Depending on the features that you wish to investigate, you will need to think carefully about designing your tasks so that they elicit the feature in question. For example, if you want to investigate learners’ use of the past tense, you would need to make sure that the learner was given adequate opportunities to talk about past events. It is often a good idea to ask the participant to complete two or three different types of activity. For example, you could elicit a narrative account of some kind by asking them to tell you a personal experience of some kind (e.g. a recent holiday they have had, about a festival, the story of a film they have seen recently, or the story of a book they have read recently etc.). Then ask them to describe in detail a picture or photograph which you provide. You might also ask them to relate a brief story from a series of pictures.

Assignment 3 – Options 1 and 2
Transcribe approximately 10-15 minutes of the data. The level of detail in your transcription will depend on what you will be analysing. Ensure that you transcribe all the non-target-like elements accurately (i.e. don’t be tempted to ‘fix’ grammatical or other features when you do the transcription).
There are quite a number of different transcription systems. You can use the simplified Jefferson transcription system shown below, or, if there is another system with which you are more familiar, you can use that. Just make a note of the meaning of any symbols you use
The assignment should be presented using the following headings:
Introduction
This should introduce the reader to the research and should include a brief literature review in which previous findings relevant to the topic are outlined and synthesised. The background, rationale and objectives of the study should be described.
Method

This should provide details of your methodology under these sub-headings:
Participant. Here you should describe the relevant characteristics of the individual or group concerned (age, gender etc.)
Procedures. Here you should outline the instruments and methods that you used to collect your data.
Data analysis. Here you should describe the procedures and techniques that you used to analyse your data, i.e. after you collected the data, what steps did you go through?
Results and discussion
This should outline the results of the analysis of your data. Depending on the type of study that you undertake, you may need to quantify these in some way in order to be able to make sense of them. Percentages and/or raw scores are adequate; there is no need to use inferential statistics.
Most students undertaking this assignment opt for a qualitative design, where the data does not lend itself to quantification. In these cases, it is still important to provide the reader with evidence that your interpretation can be supported by the data.
Following the results there should be a discussion of your findings and your interpretation of their significance. These should be discussed in the context of previous findings in the literature where appropriate. Mention any problems or limitations in your data collection or analysis which might affect your interpretation of the data (e.g. any difficulties in making decisions about how to classify particular instances of language use, or how to assign meaning to an utterance).
Conclusion
This should briefly summarise your findings, identify any unanswered questions and indicate any avenues for future research that arise from your study.
References
Include here bibliographic details of all references cited in the body of the essay. Please use a standard author-date referencing system (e.g. APA).

Questions
Some questions that arose from a recent discussion about the snails were:
o Bring the issue (endandgered and how?)
o Population and where they live and how many
o What is the snail features and characteristics and compare with garden snail
o The below questions of markings – compare with other species

1. How many populations are there?
2. What is a snail’s home range or how far does or can a snail travel anyhow?

3. How many snails are there on the various remnant patches of Cumberland Plain?

4. We wondered if we could mark them and do capture mark release recapture studies to estimate the size of the populations? During the course of this conversation another question arose.

5. What can we mark snails with?

6. Will it hurt them (kill them)?

7. Will they be more vulnerable to predators?

8. Has this been done before? Yes

9. Will the UV pigments and mediums use to mark the snails last long enough to be used in a study on snails?
A quick search of the published literature reveals that UV pigments / dyes do not appear to have been used to mark terrestrial snails. The two key (so far!) papers are:
Henrya, P and Jarne, P. 2007. Marking hard-shelled gastropods:tag loss, impact on life-history traits, and perspectives in biology. Invertebrate Biology 126(2): 138-153.
Severns, P. M. 2009. A conspicuous, water-resistant ink for marking terrestrial snails. Journal of Molluscan Studies, 75, 93-94..
10. What animals in what studies have been marked with UV / fluorescent pigments / dyes?

11. Can we use the common introduced snail Helix asperaas a surrogate to investigate:

– The possible effects on mortality of snails that have been UV marked?
– How long will the mark remain on the snail? For example, if we mark the snail this spring (2015) will the mark remain (be detectable) next spring (2016)?
Can you find any research paper(s) that report the use of UV pigments and or dyes as markers in any study on animals (particularly invertebrates)?
Of these papers do any highlight any issues that we may face when UV marking and working with snails?
Can you think of any concerns or issues we should consider in using Helix as a surrogate?
Students groups should discuss these questions and issues I have identified above.
This work will assist and help prepare you for completing the final report (Introduction ONLY )near the end of the semester. Do NOT leave it to then to get a start. At this stage you should be reading about the Cumberland snail and thinking about marking issues and using Helix as a surrogate.

In alignment to Week 9 topic(s) of discussion on motivation, the term motivation the term motivation can be described as “defined as the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors”. From a manager or leader perspective, the highly sought after HIM professional is one that is highly motivated as it relates to giving 100 percent of effort to fulfill his/her daily responsibilities, striving to meet personal and professional goals such as obtaining additional degrees or certificates etc… Your role as a leader within a HIM Department is significant in a number of ways. Given the scenario that you are the HIM Corporate Director which oversees five HIM Departments within a integrated delivery health care system. In what ways does can your actions and interactions with your department managers, supervisors and even the departments staff, motivate and inspire others? Do you feel that the automatic title and responsibility of a leader designates one as a unofficial mentor or role model? Please explain. Finally, what measures can be taken to motivate and inspire your entire department of HIM staff members and also what measures can be taken to motivate your staff individually as it relates to their personal goals, dreams and aspirations?

Qualities of Effective Health Educators
What does it mean to be an effective health educator?
Educational attainment, credentialing, and work experience contribute to attributes of health educators in practice. However, might health educators possess additional unique attributes that make them strategically positioned to be more effective? As individuals, we all possess unique attributes and talent that contribute to success in specific areas of day-to-day life. Considering the attributes that you believe health educators should have may help you to identify those attributes that you already possess as well as identify potential areas to develop.
For this Discussion, reflect on those attributes you believe effective educators should possess. Then consider how you might incorporate those attributes into your current or future role as a health educator.
Post by Day 3 a description of three attributes that you believe effective educators should possess and explain why. Then explain how you would incorporate these attributes to become an effective provider of health education and why. Be specific and provide examples.
