SLA RESEARCH ON SELF-DIRECTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ISSUES

200A. Let me see, let'me understand. This is the phrasal verb and you can... the blue
ones are the meanings.

20IK. Yes

202A. Then, there is always one for each.... This goes with this.

203K. Aha

204A. Then, what you are doing is trying to Ieam the meaning.

205 K. Mhm

206A. But why are you undecided? Why don’t you like it? Why isn’t it working?

207K. Why isn’t it working? Because I am going to Ieam the meaning but I still have a
lot of doubts about the use.

208A. Mhm

209K. I mean, I found out that sometimes, I think, there are synonyms for the phrasal
verbs.

210A. Mhm

21 IK. And then, how am I going to know when to use the phrasal verb and when the
synonym?...So, I started looking for something that helps me more, that satisfies me
more... (She shows me some books)

212A. Mhm

213K. to be ready

214A. In other words, for you it is not enough if you only know the meaning. You need
to know how to use it, how to be able to “apply it”.

215K. Yes

216A. Aha,

217K. I need to know the use

218A. Where did you get these verbs from? I mean, how did you select them?

219K. How did I select them? At random. I didn’t have a reason. It was simply that, let’s
say, according to the frequency I come across them, from my “interchanges” or in the
movies. I chose them if I remembered have heard them, the more common ones. If they
rang a bell, if I think that I have heard them.

220A. Mhm, then, in a way, these are the most common phrasal verbs, according to your
experience.

22IK. Yes

222A. Aha, but if these are the ones that you may need, Why are you going to look for
different ones?

223K. No, not to look for different ones, but to give me an idea of how... I can do an
exercise to help me with the use.

224A. How they are used.

225K Aha

226A. And you cannot do it, yet. You cannot

227K. No, not yet, I mean, I still don∕t have an idea of how I can learn... I mean, how I
can Ieam not the meaning but the use.

228A. Mhm. Then, what you need to do is to look for them here, in these books that may
tell you how...

229K. to look for, I rather believe I have to look for these verbs with a minimum of five
examples, or eight examples, in order to be able to have an idea of the way they are used.
230A. OK. Perfect

23IK. Yes?

232A. I think that’s is a good idea

233K. The only one I have thought of
