Prompted by a suggestion made by Tim Halkowski, Ruth Parry (Nottingham) and other colleagues have been identifying clips from TV shows and so on that they might use to help get across language-in-interaction concepts to students.
I’ll put up their suggestions as they come in.
Ruth Parry:
- The hedge sketch – for sequencing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FUZ6eUwG54 - Curb your Enthusiasm Chat and cut – for queueing behaviour and social norms, and of course Larry’s rudeness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77bW1aMAkhs - Green Wing Sue White and her completely deviant interactional practice (buzzer) for indicating dispreferredness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBM1x5DPBXA - Medical students’ spoof on communication skills – overdone ‘open questioning’ and more
