I'm working on my research paper for my Linguistics class. i'm not sure if everything is right. The purpose of the class observation is to identify the key features of the mediation theory. We observed the class from the very beginning to the end. The class we attended was “Lengua extranjera y tendencias musicales” lectured by Professor Jorge Escorcia Orozco on August 6th at 6:30pm. Along the class, he developed the topic “History of Thanksgiving and idioms related to it”. Five key features were found as follow: • Significance: Professor Escorcia provides a copy filled of information related to the celebration of Thanksgiving. Then, he explains the importance of not only being good at English grammar, but also knowing about Culture because it also makes part of the language as a whole. • Purpose beyond the here and now: Professor Escorcia says that knowing about culture will helps us answer any possible question by our future students about the topic. Besides, it will complete our formation as Language Teachers. • Shared intention: At the end of the class, Mr. Escorcia repeats all the assignments, in order to make himself clear to the students. • Goal-setting: Mr. Escorcia tells the students that at the end of the semester, they will know more about Holidays, which is a language part that is not taught very often. • A belief in positive outcomes: Professor Escorcia starts an activity so that the students put listening in practice. Then, he asks somebody to explain in a few words what was said by him. After that, she says that she is afraid to make a mistake, but Mr. Escorcia says “There is nothing to be afraid of when learning a language because it is all about making mistakes and learning from them, so you can do it”. Therefore, she does what was asked. • Individuality: Professor Escorcia assigns a task in which students can use the strategy they want, in order to explain the new topic, such as bringing a poster, a video, some photos, or any tool they want to use.
