AnonyMouse_7610 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yep i'd agree with that too! I've chosen mine by looking at some of the things I feel I want to develop in FS at school anyway, and am basing my project around them as I knew I would be working on those areas; hoping to double up in a way on some of the work rather than doing something totally removed from my normal practice. That's the idea anyway! Don't know if that is possible for you in your situation but maybe it will help! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 agree with other comments, language is so diverse; English as an additional language Bi-Lingual childrens language development Language and SEN - (Physical and/or cognitive) Sign language dare I say - Phonics The use of ICT ( tape recorders, dictaphones, communication equipment in role play) in developing language aquisition. The aquisition of language cultural language ( I remember many moons ago reading a very interesting book about west African boys, based in London, (english speakers) who were found to have barriers to learning due to the dialect / vocabulary used at home compared to school. The teachers speaking middle class (white) english. Accents would possibly come into this as well. I would suggest that the topic is one which you will find information easily, but not one that has loads of coverage, I find too much information to analyse does my head in ( so to speak). ie: Keep it small, not too broad. Maybe look at some organisations such as 'I CAN' websites, who may also give info for research reading. Just today I heard about an auther who has re-written Shakespeare in 'chaff' language, so that the 'youff' can better engage in it and understand it. ( the terms I've used here are from the TV presenter, and not mine, no offence intended) Best of luck Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 your welcome, just remember your word limits are quite small/tight. Anything that gets your attention can use up word limits very quickly ( if you're anything like me that is ) Let us know what you decide.
