#4 - El último

Alright, the last blog. Here goes:


Research question: What are the specific strategies employed by Spanish instructors to elicit oral language in their foreign language classrooms?


Subjects: about 10 High School Spanish teachers of various levels from “a school district in Central North Carolina


Measures/Procedures: Administer a structured, audio-taped interview to each of the subjects and follow up with classroom observations to see the strategies in action.


Analysis: Codify and categorize the responses and observations from the field-notes taken during observation and the audio-taped interview. Extract common themes from all the subjects; perhaps compare frequencies of different strategies reported and observed.
