Plenary: Name the 6 language frameworks you need to use in your analysis in the exam
17 To identify the difference between the written and spoken mode To recognise some non-fluency features To apply these skills to the two personal narratives in the anthology
How do we analyse the spoken mode?
Settler: Spoken language= your day to day conversations
Another term to describe spoken language is spontaneous language or speech.
TASK: Write down a possible difference between SPOKEN and WRITTEN/SCRIPTED language on your post it and stick it to the board
Go through key features terms for spontaneous speech
Composed of utterances, not sentences
Non-standard vocabulary is used e.g. ‘hey’ to mean hello or ‘Yup’ to mean yes
Non-standard grammar e.g. Wow, did I mess up today
Spoken language is not precise: ‘sort of this big’, ‘handle type thing’, ‘I kind of think’.
Varied! Be careful not to stereotype e.g. the majority of adults use standard or more formal lexis. Young people tend to be more casual.
Spoken language is often economical. People tend to say only as much as they need to do in order to communicate with the people they are speaking to.
Spontaneous or scripted? Write down ONE reason how you know for each one
1. Mavis: You have got to have something before you go out. Derek: I haven’t time. Why, Mavis? Why did we have to oversleep today of all days? I just hope this isn’t going to be an omen.

Plenary: Mr or Mrs Chatterbox Who thinks they speak fluently?
You must speak for as long as possible about today’s text without using a non-fluency feature.
Your partner listening must stop you if they hear a non-fluency.
The best speakers can see if they can hold their own in front of the class!
These are some key terms: What is banned? FILLERS/VOICED HESITATIONS: Umm,errr, like, so HEDGING: sort of, kind of, like FALSE STARTS: this is an example…I mean this demonstrates

Applying our knowledge on spoken discourse to a new extract
Starter: in pairs students complete the match up exercise (found on a word document named card-sort-for-spoken-lang-terms)
If students finish, they add the terms in their glossaries
How do we communicate in face-to-face conversations?
12% of everything communicated is… 29% of everything communicated is… EVERYTHING ELSE communicated is…
Which of these figures is Verbal (words)? Which is Vocal (the sound of our words)? Which is Visual (body language)?
Card sort Questioning Independent / Group work
Essay Question: Compare the way in which Zara’s narrative (lines 28-40) and Visiting Paris (p47) give a personal representation of Paris. REMEMBER: - often features are not INTENTIONAL when speaking, but do still reveal characters’ feelings - connect by representation, not by technique
Lit SMSC So7, So8, C1, C2, C3, C5, M2, Sp3, Sp5, Sp9.
12% of all communication in a face to face conversation is achieved verbally (with words).
29% of all communication in a face to face conversation is achieved vocally (with the sound of our words – also known as prosodics).
59% of all communication in a face to face conversation is achieved visually (body language, etc. – also known as paralinguistic features).
Students match up prosodic definitions Pitch/ Intonation Volume Stress/Emphasis With the following definitions
- How loudly something is spoken, often indicates emotion
- How high/low the tone of voice is. Often higher at the end of an utterance to demonstrate a question.
- - highlighting one word in an utterance by speaking in a higher volume and pausing after it
1. How might the following emphasis change the meaning of the sentence?
“I like your new shoes” “I like your new shoes” “I like your new shoes” “I like your new shoes” “I like your new shoes”
2. How could prosodic features determine whether the following

To EXPLORE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SPEAKERS IN ‘eating in Paris’
This is a tag question, isn’t it?
All young people speak more casually
Spontaneous spoken language is likely to contain more pauses and false starts than scripted language
Elision is missing out whole words in a sentence
Idiolect is someone’s personal language choices
Backchannel features suggest someone is not really listening
Students watch the clip and answer the following questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IeZvqQauWY
Identify the conflict – what is the problem this clip focuses on?
What problems would we face in society if we all behaved in this way?
Bearing in mind our current unit of work, what do you think our lesson will focus on today?
Discuss turn-taking
Taking turns in a conversation is very important. If you speak for too long then you will lose your listeners’ attention. People who do this are often regarded as rude or boring.
TASK: List TWO ways you would know when it is your turn to talk…
The speaker shows that they have finished by lowering their voice.
The speaker looks at someone else for their support or to get an opinion.
Students research ‘Paris Syndrome’ ready for next lesson
C5, M2, Sp3, Sp5, Sp9.
The speaker asks a question that requires a response.
Pauses/Overlaps: TASK: Can you think of TWO reasons why each would be used?
Pauses: Silences in speech could indicate that:
Thinking time is taking place
The speaker is uncertain about something
There is a change in subject matter
In a transcript a pause is indicated in brackets. The length of the pause will appear as a number e.g. (2), (6). Alternatively, a brief pause is shown by a dot (.).
Overlaps occur when one speaker is interrupted by another.
Sometimes people interrupt because:
they are excited about what is being said
they are just being rude and won’t wait for their turn!
one speaker thought the other had finished.
In transcripts overlapping is indicated by //.
Adjacency Pairs
A two-part exchange in which the second utterance is dependent on the first.
We often see this in conventional greetings, invitations, and requests.
Completed adjacency pairs usually indicate a successfully or largely co-operative exchange
An adjacency pair is a type of turn-taking. It is the smallest unit of conversational exchange.
A: What is your name C: Take a letter Sam B: My name is John D: Yes Jim
Discuss preferred and dispreferred response in adjacency pairs and in what contexts they may come in
What is politeness? Introduce the idea of politeness
Open the window, mate. I’m really sorry to bother you, but could you possibly open the window please? Politeness is all about the choices of directness or indirectness which we make based on who we’re speaking to and other contextual factors. We know what’s appropriate and adjust our speech accordingly.
Indirect lexical/grammar terms LEXIS: Please and thank you!
Inclusive personal pronoun
Euphemism
Modal auxiliary verbs
Adverbs such as possibly, perhaps, apparently, certainly
Modes of address
Avoid taboo
Formality and complexity?
Apologies
Hedges, [“words and phrases which soften or weaken the force with which something is said” (Pridham, The Language of Conversation)]
GRAMMAR:
Tag questions
Declaratives
Commands hidden as interrogatives
Conditional sentences

apply this too from the anthology so far.
What is culture shock? Students watch video
Personal disorientation when experiencing another way of life.’ Sociologist John Macionis (2008). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2mixQ_n_5E . What ‘symptoms’ can be shown in culture shock?
This often includes: Negative feelings towards
cultural practices and language Feeling bored and homesick Feeling anxious A sense of danger
Suggest the stages of culture shock
Memories of places in Paris What effect do the lexical choices in these phrases have? Students annotate their anthologies
“now looking back” “the guy who manned the swings” “my school was only sort of ten minutes walk” “occasionally skive off”
C2, C3, C5, M2, Sp3, Sp5, Sp9.
“some sort of old ruins” “Erm beautiful Haussmanian buildings” “manicured manicured babies in pushchairs” “literally storming through the park” “quite deprived areas” “the grandma the mother a baby a tiny baby”
Students write a paragraph answering each question
Othering: a way of presenting
differences between cultures, often in a negative way
Flâneur: a French term for ‘stroller’; an individual who observes and experiences the experiences and practices of a culture and society
1. How might Isabella be considered a Flâneur?
2. How might Sophia be ‘othering’ her experience in Paris?
Plenary: provide students with the following key terms and they have to write down the definitions -Ellipsis -Filler -Elision -Back Channel Features -False Start -Hedging -Tag questions -Idiolect -Prosodic stress -Utterances -Discourse Markers -Voiced hesitations
21 - To explore a text in mixed mode - To identify some linguistic features associated with new technology
What linguistic features are in new technology?
Have a note on title page for students to read so they understand how they can help themselves achieve an A grade when discussing modality
For an A grade you will need to be able to cross-reference modality throughout your essay and explain its links to representation/meaning For a C grade you will need to clearly state mode in your introduction with justification, then make at least one link to mode in the essay body
Discuss the continuum of written and spoken mode
Provide a written and spoken mode continuum and provide the following texts to the students for them to place on the continuum A transcript of a chat between friends A transcript of ‘The Apprentice’ a page from a novel A page from a children’s book involving dialogue An online forum discussion An informal blog post a transcript of a Prime Minister’s speech
Discuss the ideas of a discussion forum
An online environment/archived virtual space to which members sign up and engage in discussions about topics that interest them and are generally centred around a shared set of interests or topics.
A member can create their own username which appears beside each post that they make, as well as other

information such as: age, gender, location, no. of posts etc.
They operate like any other discourse community; there is usually a hierarchy among members.
This hierarchy might be explicit (administrators and moderators) or implicit (peer-recognition).
Administrator: a senior member responsible for the organisation and running of the forum. Moderator: a senior member responsible for monitoring, managing and sometimes editing posts made by contributors to a discussion forum. Seed message: the first post in a thread on a discussion forum. Thread: a group of posts in a discussion forum, initiated by a seed message. Embedded story: a story that is introduced into a narrative that is different in content but serves to maintain group identity and solidarity by focusing on and therefore asserting and preserving shared points of interest or value.
Discourse structure & expected linguistic behaviour in discussion forums
Have clips of a discussion forum on the board
Although forums are presented in the written mode, they actually embody many elements of the spoken mode.
Posters will often try to behave cooperatively with one another, as in spoken language.
Students match up key terms and definitions
Rebus

Hyperlink
Neologism
Initialism
Emotive punctuation Definitions to match up
A new word, recently come into our vocabulary

A series of capitalised letters where each letter represents a word (pronounced as a word e.g. NATO/PIN)
A series of capitalised letters where each letter represents a word (pronounced letter by letter e.g. RIP, BBC)
Read the first two places as a class and annotate for any of these new terms OR spoken language features. Ensure students understand how they can apply mode to their answer (AO3)
Page 84-7 1. Look for any NON-STANDARD features – i.e. those common to spoken mode/technology Why are they there? 1. Look for some more STANDARD features – i.e. politeness features, formal lexical choices, facts/stats Why are they there?
Students write an analytical paragraph on how Paris is presented as a place to visit with children.
22 To linguistically explore ‘Seven Ages of Paris’
How do we approach analysing a large text like ‘Seven Ages of Paris’?
Settler: Students match the AOs to what they assess
Students read the synopsis of Seven Ages of Paris
In this wonderfully readable book, Alistair Horne tells the huge and romantic story of Paris through seven ages of turmoil and change: the Middle Ages, the 100 years war, the Paris of Louis XIV, the age of Napoleon, the Commune, the Empire days of Louis-Napoleon and Eugenie, and the First World War and De Gaulle. Interweaving historical narrative with telling detail, this is a fluent and definitive work of social and cultural history. Did their GRAMPS analysis match what they read in the synopsis?
Questioning Independent Analysis
Students recap and revise all they have learnt for a BB assessment next week

Not an absolute monarchy (constitutional monarchy) Ended with the revolution of 1830 Economic downturn + rise of liberal opposition
Notes on the author of Letters Helen Maria Williams (1790-1830)
Poet & dissenter
Reacted favourably to the French Revolution (like most Liberal Britons).
Travelled to Paris in 1790 to celebrate the fall of the Bastille.
Saw her friends persecuted by the Jacobins; she regarded their behaviour as a betrayal of the Revolution’s founding principles.
Imprisoned with her mother in 1793.
Students read the opening of the letters and explore the effect of
exclamatory sentences - rhetorical questions - personal pronouns - Descriptions of size/scale
Students are given an extract from letters 1,2 and 4.
Letter 2 (1790)
Letter 4 (1790)
Letter 1 (1795)
For each section students provide the instructions
1. What is the tone of this letter? 2. How does the context of that particular
year influence Williams’ tone? 3. What social or political views can you
identify? 4. How is Paris presented?
Annotate for key language features that help you answer the above!

Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action (background music, sounds for dramatic effect etc.)
when a narrative is told in a different location to where the narrated events actually took place.
Key Terms:
Go through Ruth Page (2012) theory
Consider the production and reception of the text
Since the podcast is designed to be listened to as walkers are touring the Louvre, it is a mobile narrative that can be listened to on a variety of devices.
Listeners are able to control the pace of what they hear by pausing, and can revisit parts of the recording where necessary.
This is an interactive and integrated experience for the listener; they are an active participant in imagining the world that is described in the podcast.
The mobile narrative provides a new dimension to the experience of the flâneur.
Who is the primary and secondary audience?
How does Steves present the Louvre? Students present evidence and analysis for the following and others they find
1. Humour
2. Inclusive language 3. Colloquialisms 4. Non-diegetic sound 5. Antithesis/juxtapositions 6. Direct address 7. Imperatives 8. Proper nouns 9. French lexical choices 10. Contemporary references
Students write an analytical paragraph based on how Steves presents the Louvre.

2. What language techniques does the writer use to present the culture shock he experiences?
3. How does he present Paris as ‘other’? 4. CHALLENGE: In what ways is the text
parodic of a quest narrative? How is humour used to subvert expectations of travel-writing?
Students individually analyse this text and come together for a discussion
Plenary: Students identify three similarities between the texts
27 Recap knowledge and analysis of texts
How do we effectively analyse spontaneous texts?
• Settler: Students read through this exam question and highlight key words
• Text A is an extract from ‘Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe’ by Bill Baxter
• Text B is Paris City Guide by Lonely Planet
Compare and contrast how the writer of Text A and the writer and speaker of Text B express their ideas about the visiting Paris. You should refer to both texts in your answer (40 marks). Create a carousel with the students where Text A Step One: CHOOSE
Read the extract. Take 2 lines of your choosing and write
them on your sugar paper Pass it to the person to your right
Step 2: Annotate the extract in terms of the linguistic devices and the effect it can have on the CAPMG of the extract
Pass it to the person on your right Step Three: COMMENT
Using the last person’s annotations (and some of your own) write a paragraph explaining how the writer’s express their views on the history of Paris.
This should be a good 8-10 lines. 6 lines should be explanation.
Students do the same for text B and write a comparative paragraph
