Metacognitive Analysis:

These rules are useful for us, as future teachers, especially when we are involved in academic writing. It is equally useful for our future students since it is an excellent way to teach them to be honest, and give credit to those people who helped them to develop their ideas. To cite correctly would also give more credibility to their productions, highlighting their own ideas. From my point of view, our students must become aware that there is a formal way of citing; it is an interesting fact.

Entry 00: Let's start

My name is Julieta Dattoli and I'm 23 years old. This is my fourth and hopefully last year at the Teaching Training College. Before choosing this profession I've been in other places searching MY definite place. A few words Learning is a process which is difficult to define under one perspective ... for some, learning is just acquiring knowledge, for me learning is also a journey, in which people have to be guided and accompanied; it is an experience with obstacles, descents and ascents; a ride that sometimes requires pedalling hard and many others only to be carried away by the inertia itself.  I'm sure of something, learning is a path in which a person always has to leave his/her mark. It is a journey and, like any journey, it involves a challenge: "let yourself be surprised". This year I've got surprised by this new proposal: the production of my own blog.

Entry 04: Performatives and Constantives

Brief summary: According to J.L. Austin, there are different types of statements. Those that describe and those that command. On the one hand, "constatives" are those utterances which describe something true or false; classifying them will depend on the reality assessment of the message's receptor. On the other hand, those statements that command, are called "performatives" which denote an action, this means that they inspire actions in people. As a consequence, performative utterances change the social reality they are describing. Also, I have to mention that there are words that bring about actions and words that themselves are actions; the last ones are defined as "speech acts" . A successful performative statement has to be: - Authoritative - Understood. - Clear - Able to be executed Source: Colleen Glenney Boggs (2013). Speech acts: Constative and performative.

ENTRY 11: Writing strategies | HEDGING and BOOSTING.

VIDEO 1: THE IMPORTANCE OF HEDGING Publishing a research should be thought of as making a contribution to the ongoing dialogue in your field or discipline. The focus of all research is problem-solving and collaboration and teamwork often expedite this process. The most useful contributions are made in such a way where the primary writer or researchers will receive credit for his or her unique and original contribution but will also leave room for others to add to the dialogue to build off points made earlier to refine them and reinterpret them. One way to achieve this is through the effective use of HEDGING. Definition of hedging Lakoff defined it as words whose job it is to make things more or less fuzzy. Words that can make statement less clear or absolute Hyland wrote that Hedging is the expression of tentativeness and possibility in language use. It represents an absence of certainty and is used to describe an linguistic item or strategy employed to indicate either a lack of commit...
