Subjects and texts for data collection Sample Clauses

Subjects and texts for data collection. The subjects in this study are first- and second-year students at a university level taking English as their first and second choice of the study in teacher education. Since they have not taken any English subject prior to the English courses in which they produced texts, all of the subjects equally had thirteen years of English education at a Norwegian school prior to data collection. All the students have Norwegian as their L1 and none of them speak another language on a daily basis other than English. The age of the participants at the time of data collection varies from 20 to 27 with a mean age of 20.8. Six out of seventeen participants are male students, and the rest are female students. None of them have any learning difficulties (e.g., dyslexia). The total of sixty-four texts were collected for the purpose of the TALE project, four texts for each student which were produced as part of the course requirements in year 2018- 2019. This research can thus be seen as a quasi-longitudinal study, given that data are collected at four different data points. Two of the students dropped out in 2019 so that there were only two texts produced by these two, which resulted in sixty-four texts in total. The length of each text varies from 800 – 1200 words, and the topics also varied from argumentative texts on linguistic or didactic issues to descriptive (or analytic) texts of literature the participants studied. All texts were written in an academic style. The original aim was to analyze all sixty-four texts, but due to time limit, only thirty-two texts were selected for analysis for the purpose of this thesis, which makes the findings of the current study only a preliminary result of a planned research project. The scope of data is therefore fairly limited and more data need to be added in order to provide a more full-fledged picture of the phenomena presented in this thesis. The thirty-two texts used for analysis have the total of 32908 word counts, which makes a mean length for each text 1028 words (median value). Seventeen texts were produced in October 2018 where the participants were asked to discuss how chosen literary texts can be used to develop reading and/or writing skills among school children at the level of 5-10. Fifteen texts which were produced approximately three months later, March 2019, were a description text in which the students were asked to describe how Shakespear uses language to express characters in Romeo and Juliet.
