Conclusion – Production

In conclusion the Production stage of the process was originally the most daunting of any as the environment is something which was unsettling as instantly upon arrival on the Monday morning Tommy would often communicate and plan things with the teachers in Gaelic and I would constantly have to then ask Tommy about what he has planned next or what was being discussed over the course of the week and had to a conscious effort to be kept in the loop.  This through the course of the week a massive challenge for me, however over the course of the week I managed to because more accustomed to them conversing in Gaelic and not as unsettled by having to ask what was being discussed.  Interviewing school pupils was another new experience for me as it’s not something I’ve ever done before,  this is probably the area of the process I’m most proud of is how relaxed particularly the first two students during their interviews were.  Another major challenge was remaining engaged when interviewing the teachers when they answered in Gaelic as I had absolutely no idea what they were saying or if it was relevant to the question I had asked or even if the answer was close to the end so I didn’t cut over the audio of them speaking.    The experience of working on a project in a school and also interviewing in multiple languages has been fantastic for me and I’ve learned so much and have become a lot more confident throughout this stage of the process. I will however still remember all the mistakes I’ve made during this stage and I’ll seek to learn and improve in the future to prevent them happening again.
