Discourse Analysis; blog 6

Discourse Analysis.... wellll! from the reading, i was more than overwhelmed, so to better understand what i was attempting to read i dictionary.com'd it!
after reading what they had to say i came to the conclusion that discourse analysis is just analyzing a group of people, how they react, what their initial intentions are, what their meaning in the group is- etc. i look at discourse as how you carry yourself around/working with other people. on the same page- discourse is more than verbal conversation- it's reaction, emotion, tone etc.


without a doubt, i would use discourse analysis more so than any other method in my field of work. as a future teacher, the best way to get the classroom to mesh as appose to clash- is to see who works well with who, what they work well at, what ones strengths are and on the contrary, their weaknesses and where another classmate may help the other one out.
Through discourse analysis i can make my classroom a more successful one with a more fulfilling outcome for the students and myself.
as we learn new methods, i have become to realize there are so many ways to conduct my classroom and how to make it right-- or work right for that matter. having different ways to fix a problem- discourse analysis, visual analysis, (which i believe are similar but discourse i feel is more in depth) interviewing, etc.
this is awesome! ha..
