Language and Gender: Male and Female Conversation Styles

Hi everyone,

Today you are putting together your presentations in your groups ready to present tomorrow morning. You need to have 2 clips and analyse them in relation to Deborah Tannen's Difference theory.

I'm looking for you to analyse how each difference is presented in your clips - do they support the theory or dispute it? Try to get some discussion going, and make your presentations detailed.

I'll be coming around to see you a few times during the lesson to see how you're getting on, but this is essentially your preparation time as we are presenting tomorrow, so by the end of today's lesson you need to make sure you are presentation ready!

Below is a link to the PowerPoint we covered in class yesterday to help you along:

Looking forward to seeing these tomorrow!
