Dear Gill-
I made a search on Siegfried Jager in PSYCLIT database and in Library of
Congress and could not find one reference in English (but there are many in
German). I'm surprised that there is not English translation.. :-(
Let us know if you find something, please. Meanwhile can you elaborate on
why you are looking for his writing, please?
Eugene

Subject: Activity Theory and tools for analysing language
I'm currently working on my PhD exploring how teachers make sense of their
work in initial teacher training in the context of all their other work.
I'm trying to answer my research questions through an investigation of the
language in use in the activity, and am especially interestd in drawing on
Critical Disocurse Analysis to help me unpick some of what is happening for
the classroom teacher mentor. (Sorry if this is not a very academic way of
expressing myself: I'm still searching for the language with which to
describe what I do!)
In my reading (notably Wodak and Meyer, 2000) I have come across the work of
Siegfried Jager, and would like to read some more of his ideas. However, my
German is not that good, so I wondered whether anyone in the xmca community
knew where I could find his work in translation?
I've been enjoying the discussion of literature recently(I'm a teacher of
English). You might enjoy Phillip Larkin's 'Days' and 'This be the Verse'
if you can access them easily; or Joseph Roth's novella 'The legend of the
Holy Drinker'.
