Evaluating how the article, ‘Coaches Can Read, Too: An Ethnographic Study of a Football Coaching Discourse Community’ by Branick support Klass in the article, ‘Learn the Language’

Various scholars have different perspectives concerning being a member of a given profession and pretending or imitating one. Perri Klass passes through a lot of events to categorize herself to be closer to the doctor rather than talking like a doctor. The article, ‘Learn the Language’ by Klass presents the main thematic concerns about the special language that professionals in the medical context use. Klass experience various challenges when she is working as an intern in a medical field considering that she is just a student who has no experience about the professional language in the settings. However, she later learns the language and goes closer to become a doctor instead of just talking like one. On the other hand, the article, ‘Coaches Can Read, Too: An Ethnographic Study of a Football Coaching Discourse Community’ by Branick explores how coaches set the goals as one way of accomplishing their professional goals and strive using several steps to accomplish those steps. Branick’s ideas support Klass ideas in many ways based on professional contexts and how students or professionals in the respective fields endeavor to achieve their goals. This essay seeks to evaluate how Banick and Klass’ thematic concerns concerning professional development matches.

Both authors believe that there is a need for the professionals to have a goal that they will strive to accomplish before commencing the journey towards developing their professionalism. According to Klass, one need to know the pattern and not just the words while learning the language. The statement, “Harvey’s concern over not knowing the menu was not surprising. The menu is the most important printed text used by waiters and waitresses and not knowing it can dramatically affect how they are able to do their work…” (Klass 304) implies that understanding the work without pattern is likely to lead to failure in one’s endeavor. On the other hand, Branick points out that coaches have a goal to develop as people. According to him, “to be a member of the profession, the members of the community need to have a shared goal for them to be successful in their profession (Branick 398)”. The two authors shares a common idea that a member who ought to accomplish something in life ought to establish means and strategies and work by them to achieve those objectives.

Being in a community implies that one knows the pattern and grammar as well as words. Branick argues that “it is effective to include characteristics and background of your discourse community to allow the reader to understand what their D.C is about if they do not have a previous background or knowledge about the text (Branick 388).” This argument supports Klass’ idea that “one need to understand the pervasive metaphors, how they are used (Klass 320)” to imply being a member of a language community. The arguments from these authors justifies that the community where the players are raised contribute much on how they learn different contexts and how their respective professionalisms are developed. For instance, the hospital where Klass went for an internship program influenced the language that she established from the medical context while the Coach, Branick established his language based on his trainees and the environment where he conducted his lessons.

The two articles also justifies how using special words in a community help people to engage with one another to achieve specific objectives. According to Barnick, ““There are many terms that are involved in football coaching communities that may not make sense to most people but, among a team, makes perfect sense and help the community better do its work and achieve its goals (Branick  8)”. Therefore, certain words are only applicable to a given context even though they may not be sensible in other settings. A team that is well organized understands all special words since they are regularly used and may seem meaningless if they have no clue about them. Barnick’s notion about the application of special words to engage people to achieve a given goal supports Klass’ argument who states that, “staff in hospital have their own words they use to maintain certain distance from the patients (Klass 398).” The later implies that special words that doctors use to achieve a given goal of providing services are not familiar to the patients despite all being in the same environment. Hence, the two authors justify how members of a given profession can apply special words to engage one another to achieve the goals in their respective contexts.

Both authors support the idea that language communities must continue improving their craft through learning new aspects that will aid their endeavor to achieve given goals, help their peers work with them, and people who they see or engage in the same environment. Barnick provides that “the fourth quality is being a learner… they must learn about the newest trends, philosophies, and strategies in the sport that they coach (Branick 385)”. Coaches have different roles to play depending on their specific sports that they lead and their precise goals set before they started undertaking their roles. However, learning is endless and coaches ought to learn continuously to ensure that they familiarize themselves with the new strategies established in the context. This argument supports Klass’ who argues that medical context is dynamic and doctors have to learn new aspects such as new diseases and cure being established for their cause considering that patients expects them to end those diseases regardless of whether they are old or new. She provides that, “doctors have to learn new aspects such as new diseases and cure…… (Klass 388)”.

Branick’s ideas support Klass ideas in many ways based on professional contexts and how students or professionals in the respective fields endeavor to achieve their goals. The two articles have many common notions pertaining to being a coach and being a doctor respectively. For instance, Branick’s ideas and Klass believe that there is a need for the professionals to have a goal that they will strive to accomplish before commencing the journey towards developing their professionalism. The two articles also justifies how using special words in a community help people to engage with one another to achieve specific objectives. In addition, the two articles back up the idea that language communities must continue improving their craft through learning new aspects that will aid their endeavor to achieve given goals, help their peers work with them, and people who they see or engage in the same environment. Hence, Barnick supports Klass’ ideas in various aspects despite the two articles addressing different professions.
