Exploring The Influence Of Servant Leadership On Teacher Satisfaction And Retention, Rachelle J. Wong

Discourse analysis is employed to examine the translanguaging experiences of an adolescent English learner who assisted the researcher in interviews with his peers. This empirical piece asks the question of what researchers can learn when employing the use of students as brokers when conducting interviews. Translanguaging is considered an element of cultural …

Quantitative data were collected using a pre-test, a post-test, and the note taking quizzes …

Goals:

The primary goal is to introduce students to the concept, experience, and application of the listening stick activity within the context of an undergraduate listening course.
