What do teachers need to know about grammar?
Get PDFThe literature regarding teacher knowledge endorses the importance of English language specialist (ESOL) and mainstream teachers’ grammatical knowledge for teaching and assessment purposes. In the New Zealand primary and secondary school context, key documents produced for teacher support of English language learners require grammatical knowledge, as they contain a considerable amount of grammatical terminology. These include the English Language Learning Progressions (ELLP) (2008), the English Language Intensive Programme (ELIP) (2003), and Supporting English Language Learning in Primary School (SELLIPS) (2009). The aim of the current study was to classify grammatical terminology in these documents according to language level (phonology, word class, sentence and text), language skill, and stage of the progressions. Conclusions were drawn about the grammatical knowledge considered essential for teachers to effectively use the support materials. The results of the study are relevant for ESOL, primary and secondary teachers, and those involved in the professional development of teachers

Sensory ethnography: Enhancing logistical event management planning
Get PDFWe argue that students learn through employment of multiple senses. When concepts are complex, understanding can be greatly enhanced if theory is ‘explained’ in conjunction with case studies, examples and experience. Ethnographic storying, especially the use of photographic, and video media are examples of sensory ethnography. With the development of social media, such as You Tube and Flicker,
one can create, at minimal expense short clips that have the potential to be employed as educational tools that facilitate comprehension of, often complex theory
and theoretical practices.
This paper provides a series of Flicker clips that have been developed and applied in WINTEC’s graduate event management papers. The focus of these clips has been
on Event Management Logistics: having the ‘right’ thing, in the ‘right’ place, at the ‘right’ time, to ensure positive/satisfactory consumer experience. We will discuss how we collected, edited, and compiled these clips. We will also share the students’ responses/reactions to these clips and their perceptions as to whether our stated intention: to facilitate comprehension of, often complex theory and theoretical practices has been achieved.

Necessity to remain hidden from “others” and the world is at the core of Purdom’s photographic project From certainty to doubt, which looks at the multifaceted ways in which concealment, camouflage, mimicry and ambiguity play as much a part in the lives of humans as they do the animal kingdom.
Den building, a childhood pursuit has undergone a revival in recent years, allowing children to get back to nature and enabling them to disappear from parents (albeit for a brief period). Dens are recognised as an antidote to the pervasiveness of electronic gaming. “The den is a secret place, built outside the confines of the adult world. It is a place of retreat, but also a place of togetherness, a social space, that reinforces allegiances and bonds between small groups or gangs.” (Edgelands, by Farley and Symmons Roberts, 2012)

The duplicity of my insider/outsider role while conducting research
Get PDFThe duplicity of my insider/outsider role while conducting research
This presentation is based on my PhD research. My research involves student participants’ experiences of writing academic assignments in their first year of tertiary
study. This workshop is based on my experiences of collecting evidence, mainly in the form of conducting interviews and observations.
For my research I intended to take a peripheral membership role (Adler & Adler, 1987) in that I would have an outsider role. In other words I would not take part in the core activities of my participants but that I would attempt to seek an insider’s perspective on my research topic area. However, it soon became apparent that my role was more complex than simply undertaking a peripheral membership role. For example, in liaising with staff at times our interaction patterns were staff to researcher. However, at other times staff and I interacted as fellow PhD candidates.
With students at times interaction patterns were that of researcher to student. However, at times I took inadvertently took the role of more experienced writer than
researcher to student. These changes in roles had both advantages and disadvantages.
During this presentation I will discuss complexities of my membership role, in that I came to this research with both aspects of an insider and an outsider. In addition,while conducting my research at times I had an insider role and at other times I had an outsider role. I will discuss how ethical dilemmas can arise while conducting research and how decisions made can lead to the blurring of researcher roles.
