A general introduction to qualitative methods and then a more specific move into discussing CA and introduction ethnomethodology. Includes a PowerPoint slide and 7 Windows Media Player files which are the extracts described in the lecture. Material for the second and/or third week of the practical. The PowerPoint slide goes into detail about the aim of the practical (there is also a short handout as a supplement to this), and there is also, towards the end of the lecture, an example of how to lay out a CA transcript. The example is provided as a separate .pdf document, and there is a short .wav file (adult-child) which is linked to the lecture.In this folder there is a lecture on how to write up a qualitative practical - specifically, this one on doing a CA based study on power and language. In this folder there is a collection of examples of naturally occurring recordings which form the basis of the material students would use in the practical. The list is given on the lecture slide (week 2) and in the short handout for that lecture. These examples are all relative short (between 30 sec and 2 mins). Where possible there are three formats for each example (e.g., a quicktime movie (.mov); windows Media Player movie (.wmv) and a audio only file (.wav)). This has only been possible for 4 of the recordings (class, court, job, students), and the doc-patient is sound only (although viewers can access the video through a web-page link). The meeting example has two formats, and the others (moth-dau; suspect and phone-in) are sound only.Here, there are files containing the 'CA guide', some additional information on the recordings described in the week 2-3 folder, and a guide to 'using Praat'. This is an easily uploadable and free sound editing piece of software which is a minimal piece of kit for doing CA transcription. In other words, it provides an easy way for students to be able to play sections of the recordings repeatedly so that they can do the transcription. A '.exe' copy of the application is also in the folder, alongside a brief document listing relevant references for the practical. Here, there is a collection of .pdf files which are papers downloaded from the internet and representing a selection of relevant studies that students writing up practical of this nature might find useful.
