English Teacher Job In Carver

Being an English major, i of course like the subject of English.  I love learning it, its very entertaining to weave a story from words, the more of an emotional response i get the better.  So it is very interesting to me when i came across this job in Carver, Massachuesetts. 
Its an English teaching job, starting out with British Literature, and expanding into other areas of English.  Teaching others the ways of the word is a very interesting prospect to me, because i get to see others, through my guidance, creating their own worlds within the borders of the page.  How cool would that be?  I relish the future stories that would come my way as a result.

Finding Primary and Secondary Info On Bridgewater State University

In order to explain properly about the Bridgewater State University, first you need to get to know the professors, the students, and the campus itself.  Some good places to figure out this info would be going to clubs that take place after classes are generally over, or even in the classroom themselves should you have the opportunity.  Another good place to find information would be the university's cafeteria, or the dorms where the students live.  Last, but not least, if you can find a professor who has the time and willingness to talk, they would be a great resource as well.

A primary source would be talking to the people of Bridgewater State University yourself, whether that be students, professors, or the dean.  You would be getting the information directly from the core source, and you can't really get any closer than that unless you yourself are a professor/student/dean of Bridgewater State University. 

A secondary source would be Looking up the official Bridgewater State University website, where they have all kinds of information , which can range from academics, admissions, athletics, library, their directory, and finally, an "about us" section.  This is a fantastic way to gather secondary sources.  This is the Bridgewater State University Site  . 

Introduction to Technical Communication

This chapter starts off with explaining exactly what technical communication is, and what it has to do with the outside world, especially the business world where technical writing thrives and flourishes.  I liked the first paragraph on page 2 because it pointed something out that has never changed since the second technical writing came into being:  It is used to communicate with people.  Whether it be emails, reports, web sites, so on and so forth, they're all used to help people learn and communicate.

  I also realized while i was scanning over what I had already read, that technical writing is a must in the business world.  I didn't realize that the possibility for a job, and to take it a step further, to get a promotion, you would need technical writing as a threshold skill.  Basically what they're trying to get at is if you write a crappy job application type of material, it is more than likely that you won't get the job.  Which makes sense to me, because if you can't understand what the heck a possible employee is saying about their past work history, how are you suppose to be able to make an educated decision about whether or not to hire them?

Every technical piece of writing has a purpose in this world, and they all appeal to the need of a particular audience.  This is true, and if it isn't, that means that it is not technical writing, but rather something else entirely. 

Another aspect to consider, is the possibility and likelihood of writing to people in different cultures.  Upon reading this section (page 7)  i realized that readers from different cultures would respond differently to the "design, organization, and writing style" of the documents that a person writes.  So most importantly, it is vital that a person needs to consider the "cultural" differences as they write their technical documents.

Technical writing exists to either A) help readers learn something, or B) help them carry out a task.  This is true, and an example combining the two would be a strategy guide for a video game.  A strategy guide explains how to beat the game, but also fun tidbits such as hidden items or something of that nature. 

Another interesting fact to know would be that technical writing has a great deal to do with furthering any organization's goals, as well as reflect its own culture.  This is fascinating to me, because i am so used to working on my own, and generally don't accept help from people unless i need someone to peer edit my work. 

There are quite a few rules and traditions of technical communications that i have been reading about.  The more i know, the more i want to learn.
