...Accommodation satisfaction and the factors which influence students' choice. Introduction: Accommodation plays an important role in students' daily life. It is considered by students as the second home where they can rest,recreate and study after class. Whether students are satisfied with their accommodation can affect their emotion largely. So we design this project to survey the satisfaction and expectation among students for their accommodation. We hope that this report can do some help for the future design of university accommodation. Background: For convenience, we choose our university(university of surrey)accommodation as a sample. According to our university,our accommodation are divided into 5 bands(A,B,C,D,E). The price,equipment and location of them are quit different. Band A is the cheapest one, which must share the bathroom and toilet with more than 10 people in the small space. The price of Band B is higher than Band A, and the room space is also larger than Band A. Band C owns the similar equipment with Band B, but more expensive and larger space. Band D and Band E are the most expensive ones,they are en-suite single rooms. However, Band E cost much than Band D because of its larger space. Methodology: Our research was done by asking students of university of surrey at random to complete questionnaire(Appendix 1).40 students were interviewed on Saturday 5 August with 19 males and 21 females. Than analysis and classify the collected data in order...

...Using Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) as a framework, this paper presents a multi-method investigation of the communicative behaviors in culturally heterogeneous workgroups (CHWs). Analysis of observations (participant and non-participant), semi structured interviews, and self-report surveys from both field and student samples provide insight on the communicative behaviors and strategies employed in the production and management of both productive and destructive conflict and outcomes for CHWs. The research demonstrates the usefulness of the CAT framework to analyses of conflict in CHWs and provides fresh insights on the triggers and management strategies associated with conflict in CHWs. A topical organizational scheme will be used in this section to increase the knowledge of this theory for the reader. As you may perhaps guessed, many scholarly articles focus in the concepts of convergence and divergence when it comes to testing or supporting CAT but instead of stating one research scholarly article at the time with its hypotheses, methods and findings, a synthesis of several articles with overlaps in topics will be given instead. Let’s start with relationships, One important aspect of speech accommodation theory to consider is how researchers evaluate speech. By examining factors that are used to determine speech behaviors, much can be learned about the study of accommodation. There are several characteristics of speech upon which researchers have focused...

...explain how speech in conversations changes due different factors. Some of these factors include; professional status, regional background, and age. These theories are the accommodation theory and the co-operative principle. The accommodation theory was developed by Howard Giles in the 1970’s. He had the theory we change our speech depending on the conversational needs of the person we are talking to. This either leads to divergence, people’s speech moving apart, or convergence, moving our speech closer to the other person’s style. Furthermore, convergence has the effect of decreasing the social distance between speakers which includes downwards convergence which is moving away from Received Pronunciation. A situation where this would take place could be talking to a friend or relative with a strong regional accent. This contrasts with upwards convergence where a person moves closer to Received Pronunciation. A situation in which this could occur could be when talking to a boss or someone with higher status. Mutual convergence is when both the participants move towards each other’s speech styles which tends to happen when both the speakers like each other. Divergence has the effect of emphasising the differences between two people’s speech styles such as a teacher asserting their authority with a class of students. The co-operative principle was created by H.P Grice in 1975. His theory was that a successful conversation occurs when participants abide by certain rules such as turn...

Elements to be considered when evaluating your living situation include your roommate(s), your room/apartment/house itself, your neighbors/suitemates, your neighborhood or area on campus, and the general environment of your living arrangement. In each case, you will be asked to indicate how often you felt or thought a certain way. Although some of the questions are similar, there are differences between them and you should treat each one as a separate question. The best approach is to answer each question fairly quickly. That is, don’t try to count up the number of times you felt a particular way, but rather indicate the alternative that seems like a reasonable estimate. For each question circle one of the following alternatives 0. Never 2. Sometimes 4. Very Often 1. Almost never 3. Fairly Often 1.

...title? * Student Accommodation Management System is a complex and important system to assist a corporation to manage and improve services for an apartment. I’m interested about the system because I am confusing how does it works to maintain and keep enhance the services for an university student apartment. The system also help to reduce paperwork that is hardcopy of any document because it is very hard to arrange and keep it.

...will be identifying, is the need to provide on campus accommodation for international students at Franklin University. This need is to provide students with accommodation which will be near the school and faster to get to lectures as some students leave in parts of Columbus that are far away from the university for reasons such as apartments being cheaper to afford paying for as compared to some apartments near the university. Idea My idea is that if Franklin University build or created boarding houses on campus for international students, this would be a good service because it would be easier and convenient for them in many ways. The students would not have to worry about transportation as the classes would just a walk away, the students would also even have a wider opportunity to meet other students from different backgrounds with different values and beliefs. Concept Testing I would test my concept by having a meeting with the international students at Franklin who are interested in my idea, then we would make a suggestion box and put in our idea of what we have suggested that the university should offer us and then after that we would make sure that our request reaches the president of the university through the right protocol. Pricing With pricing the university would have to include the accommodation fee to the tuition fee that we pay, meaning that the tuition fee would raise a bit because of the accommodation new...

...three students in my clinical placement, I discovered the significance of determining student’s individual requirements, and instructing in a way that will allow all students to succeed. The completion of this case study had led me to realize the importance of differential instruction, but also how challenging it can be to accomplish. This assignment allowed me to focus on the similarities and differences in the behavior and life of students who are higher achieving, students who may need more support, and students who fall right in the middle. The student who is higher achieving is often the first student finished with the assignments given in class and when she’s finished she sits and reads until everyone else is done....

...Kayla D. King Journal 9 December 1, 2013 CAT Part 1 The Communication Accommodation Theory came about after; Giles realized that speech goes beyond twangs, pronunciation, and gaps in speech. In 1987 Giles coined the Communication Accommodation Theory as a theory that is based on intercultural communication. Accommodation is the ongoing shift in communication that is either toward or away from others. This theory is based on two strategies: convergence and divergence. Both are seen as accommodation because of the constant shift in communication. Convergence is a strategy that is used when an individual adjusts their speech to be similar to the person they are speaking with. Another strategy that is based on convergence is called discourse management. Discourse management is the act of carefully choosing topics that will not generate tension or awkward moments. In contrast, divergence is the act of moving away from others by not adjusting speech. An individual emphasizing the differences between he or she and another person is another way to divert. In intergenerational relationships, the elderly tend to use self-handicapping as a face-saving strategy. Self-handicapping, in this case, is when the elderly use being older as an excuse. Another divergent strategy is maintenance. Maintenance is continuing to use original communication without regard for others, also known as underaccommodation. Moreover, overaccommodation is patronizing belittling speech,...
