Question:
In this journal, consider your language gujarati use and knowledge based on the cultures, spaces, and contexts in which you communicate.
Part 1. What languages do you know? Expand your answer by considering the following: A. Consider identifying the languages you know by category: Official: English, French, Japanese, and so on Dialect: Canadian English, Canadian French, Brazilian Portuguese Social/cultural: Newfoundland, Texas, text speak, religious/holiday/celebration language, cultural jargon subculture (professional, academic, business, sports, fashion, music genre); B. How fluent are you in these languages? Which can you speak, verbally understand, read, and/or write? C. Where/when do you use them, and would using one in the wrong place be inappropriate or disrespectful?
Part 2. Think about, use, and directly refer to concepts we have discussed in class (found in the Key Concepts for each week). Consider these questions when writing your reflection: How does language fit into our definitions of culture? Which of these languages are languages of a dominant culture? In what spaces or places are these languages dominant? How does each of these languages function differently in Private/Public Spheres Do these languages create In Groups & Out Groups? Do these languages meet in conflict or learning contact zones (or both)? Can you make use of this cultural hybridity to help you in other spaces or places? Finally, connect your experience with language to an example or way of thinking about language from each of the Tan and Young articles posted in eConestoga for this week.
