I listened
to “Why is No among a Child’s First Words?" (Lexicon Valley )
and I really liked this topic. This is because during the past summer my baby
cousin from Sweden
came and I got to spend lots of time with him. He learned many new words while
he was here and one of the words was “no.” After listening to this podcast I
find this topic even more interesting and I want to extend on Mike Vuolo’s
research. As I mentioned on the last post that I am taking linguistic courses
so I feel that I will enjoy researching the topic and this will make the
podcast turn out good! (Hopefully!)
I will use
a similar template as Mike Vuolo because I will start the podcast with some
intriguing research on this topic as this will allow me to introduce more ideas
in the podcast. Mike Vuolo had Bob Garfield with him in the podcast and so they
had a back-to-back conversation. However, I am working on the podcast myself
which is why I have to make the podcast interesting on my own. In order to make
this happen I will add more music so that I can have a greater audience. Also
I’ll try to add news from other people’s voices if I find any in order to have
variation of voice and this will prevent the podcast from becoming boring.
In my
podcast I will also incorporate research on “why is no among a child’s first
words” because I find it interesting. However, I will extend on this research
by this question: doesn't it depend on the child’s environment to determine
what will be their first words? I think that this topic will be interesting
because it is an extension of Mike Vuolo’s topic.
SPARK did
help me because it guided me on how to form a research question by asking if I
could tie any of my personal interests and I like working with children.
Therefore SPARK guided me to come up with my question. I would recommend other
students to also tie the topic to their personal interests because we have to
stick with this topic till the end of March so we should enjoy the topic in
order to create an interesting podcast!
