I have two new codes since reviewing & coding Mimose's transcript: LEARNER STRATEGY & IMPROVEMENTS/PUBLICITY. The following describes Mimose's own learner strategies developed as a result of her prior teaching career in Haiti.
In transcribing Mimose's interview, I see that she is the exception to the rule in her class. Being a former teacher herself for many years, she is familiar with the learning process and faces her tasks as a learner both confidently and in a self-disciplined and self-directed manner. Others in the class seem to be much more passive and seem to also believe that the teacher is the expert and they are there simply to absorb the knowledge. Perhaps this is cultural or the norm for this age cohort.
Mimose has devised some of her own unique learning strategies. As a former career teacher from Haiti, she knows what it takes to learn: review and repetition (lines 72 & 390); coming to class with her own questions to ask (lines 52; 168-169); taking notes (lines 215-216); has the teacher model correct pronunciation for her (lines 142-143); sitting in close proximity to the teacher (line 64); seekng individual feedback from teacher (line 103); has a tactile learning styles as evidenced by the realia she brings in from home for the teacher to identify (lines 186-189); is self-directed as evidenced by her study habits in the library before class (210-211; 217; 261-263).
