Ethnogrphy of communication final
Ethnography of communication is the study of communication within social and cultural contexts. Dell Hymes introduced the concept in 1962 and proposed the SPEAKING framework for analyzing communicative events. The SPEAKING framework considers the Setting, Participants, Ends, Act sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, and Genre involved in any communication. Using this framework, ethnographers can research and describe the rules and factors that govern speaking in particular communities and contexts.

November 26, 2014 TO: Whom it may concern SUBJECT: Letter of recommendation for Roberto Leon This letter will serve as a strong recommendation for Roberto Leon, a student of mine who is now applying for a position in your company. I had the privilege of working with Roberto Leon as a student participating in our Northwood University Semester in Europe program for the fall semester on the 2013 2014 academic year. For a period of over two and a half month, I was able to observe Roberto’s strong disposition for hard work, participative behavior, and leadership abilities. Roberto has a good affinity for languages and is much attuned to their cultural nuances and applications. His willingness to interpret and help other students made him a liked individual in the group. In the space of the two and a half months of travel in 12 different countries throughout Europe, Roberto displayed consistency of purpose, enthusiasm, and an unrelenting desire to improve his knowledge of cultures, language, and history. I have no doubt that Roberto is headed for a successful career in the future. His attitude and perseverance are the personal entrepreneurial qualities fitting quite well with our home school philosophy. I highly recommend Roberto Leon for this position based on his academic and behavioral qualities. Contact me if necessary.
