Having gone through conceptual memos (CM), fieldnotes (FN), Translation project (TP), reflective memo (RM), childhood literacy acquisition (CLA), advance literacy (AL), personal reading (PR), language acquisition by comic books (LATCB), language acquisition by the bible (LATB), language acquisition by children magazine (LACM), oral interview (OI) McNair scholars programs (MSP) etc, I discovered that all of the inquiries and readings I have done both in the primary sources and secondary sources has one re-occurring theme; LITERACY: reading and writing. This is depicted in all the oral interviews which were noted in the fieldnotes and conceptual memos. The only thing that is a bit different is the translation projects because, that was done as a short story posted on my blog, and an excerpt posted on the poster that was displayed during the library week of celebration.
Childhood literacy acquisition for the two young potential McNair scholars were made available via children magazines and comic books, and for the other two master’s degree holders, were through the bible and the dictionary, but their experiences differ in their various advance literacy educational levels. However, all of this information was made possible through oral interview.
Even though bringing these participants together was not an easy task, but at the end, I was able to get hold of only four out of six people, and the other two people did not show up till now. And those I got, accepted to sign the signature authorization forms for either their video or audio to be used. But above all, it has been a very wonderful experience so far.
It's interesting that you look back to your previous posts and writings and found that all of them were situated in the framework of one thing, despite the fact that you read other different things.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with the last portion; I went through these phases in the last 2 months :(
