“positive or negative language that judges the
worth of something. It includes language to express feelings and opinions, to
make judgments about aspects of people such as their behaviour, and to assess
the quality of objects such as literary works. Evaluations can be made explicit
(for example, through the use of adjectives as in: ‘She’s a lovely girl’, ‘He’s
an awful man’, or ‘How wonderful!’), however, they can be left implicit (for
example, ‘He dropped the ball when he was tackled’, or ‘Mary put her arm round
the child while she wept.’”
In giving a response to an answer it shouldn’t be judgemental. Giving
an answer to a student’s answer should also be judgemental neutral. Since, Tt>> S, Ss dialogue should sound as
close to natural speech as possible. So… unless you’re planning to start a
fight or are wanting to butter someone up, then the language should be neutral as
possible.
Yes. It can be seen as a form of confirmation
Okay. Is, it seems, okay.
Roger. Too confusing and it belongs to something a pilot would say. I
need a word of confirmation that is not here nor there.
Banana. Gooseberry. Car.
Apple. Bun. Automobiles aside,
banana has a slightly negative connotation to it, while apple has a slight
positive one. Confirmation using bread? No, it’s just too wheaty. As for
gooseberry, it would have about as much impact as a kiwifruit.
How about using a phrase to confirm?
That’s correct. Seems to be harmless enough as it indicates if you’re
on the right track.
Can you think of any other phrases or words to say to students that
is non-judgemental?
