National Coalition For Literacy defines literacy as using printed and written information to function in society, achieve goals, and develop knowledge and potential. Literacy is a global issue that is important for quality of life. Minority groups without literacy in their own or other languages are marginalized and disadvantaged in today's digital world. The urgency of addressing literacy for all, especially the poor and marginalized, is increasing with globalization.
Local and Global Communication in Multicultural Settings
This presentation discusses Communication in Multicultural set-up considering not only cultural differences, social backgrounds, biographical diverseness of every individual; but also factors that could help everyone in an intercultural communication setting.
Sociolinguistics - Internet Linguistics
This document discusses internet linguistics and how language is changing due to the internet. It begins by defining internet linguistics as the study of language used in electronically mediated communication and how the internet influences language change. It then examines issues like whether texting ruins language and how internet language has properties of both writing and speech. The document also explores how internet vocabulary, syntax, and discourse patterns differ from traditional language and can influence language change. Finally, it discusses how internet linguistics can contribute to English language teaching.
Sociolinguistics - Language and identity
This document discusses language and identity through examining indexicality and markedness. It provides context on Amhara Muslims in Ethiopia who face an identity crisis due to the strong association of their Amharic language with Christianity. It also examines the Speak Mandarin Campaign in Singapore, noting how Mandarin has risen to an unmarked position among Chinese Singaporeans, implying other Chinese varieties are somehow "less Chinese". The document discusses how identity involves both discovering and inventing similarities between social groups, and how markedness establishes a power hierarchy among social categories.
Translingualism: Building a more Inclusive Writing Center
This PowerPoint Presentation served as the outline for a workshop regarding inclusivity at the Gonzaga Writing Center which revolved around conversations based on complex ideas such as: the characterizations of language (English in particular), Eurocentric influences, and the role of the Writing Tutor in shaping not only architectural components of writing but individualism, voice, and opinion. This presentation started a greater conversation about the implementation of a solidarity statement.

Importance of language
The document discusses several aspects of language and culture, including:
1) The importance of language in communication and connecting with others.
2) Cultural relativism, the idea that cultural beliefs should be understood within their own cultural context rather than being judged against others.
3) How learning about and respecting other cultures involves educating oneself about their ideals and meaningful activities.
How to develop communicative competence with our students
This document discusses developing communicative competence in language students. It defines communicative competence as having four components: grammatical knowledge, lexical items, discourse ability, and sociolinguistic understanding. Language functions are divided into instrumental, regulatory, representational, interactional, personal, heuristic and imaginative categories. Functional syllabuses introduce topics like self-introductions and asking for information. Discourse analysis examines the relationship between language forms and functions. Pragmatics considers how context affects language use. Other sections cover conversation analysis, language and gender differences, styles and registers, nonverbal communication including kinesics, proxemics, and olfactory dimensions.

Cross-Cultural Communication Barriers
What are our attitudes, values, and beliefs, and what role do they play in communication with others from different cultures? Presentation for the state Association of International Educators
Microsocial and macrosocial factors
Microsocial factors that influence learner language include variation between individual speakers' linguistic forms, psychological contexts, and microsocial relationships. Accommodation theory suggests native speakers tend to simplify language for second language learners. Input and interaction are important, though simplified input may omit elements and interaction is not necessary for all students to succeed.
Macrosocial factors that influence learner language include the status of first and second languages and boundaries/identities. Institutional forces constrain which languages are used in different contexts, potentially discriminating against minority languages. Social categories like age, education, gender, ethnicity, and circumstances of learning like birthplace, upbringing, and formal vs informal settings also influence language learning.
002 week 4 identity, investment and language learning copy
This document contains the agenda and discussion topics for an English class on identity, investment, and language learning. The class will discuss key concepts from readings by Norton, Hall, and Holliday. Students will share ideas and questions from the readings. There will also be a discussion of social identity with Bonny Norton and of language and culture projects. The document outlines the agenda, provides summaries of student comments on the readings, and highlights ideas from Norton's research on how relations of power and identity affect second language acquisition.
Culture and language01
This document contains information about a student named Naseem Akhtar enrolled in a sociolinguistics course. It discusses how language reveals aspects of identity such as nationality, culture, religion, age, gender, education level, and profession. The document also provides examples of how the same gestures can have different meanings across cultures and how the structure of a language can shape aspects of the culture of its speakers.
LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY
This document discusses the relationship between language and identity. It defines both language and identity, explaining that language is not static and is used to express, transmit, and adapt culture. Identity is also defined as plural and dynamic, influenced by both conscious and unconscious processes. The document then examines how language and identity influence each other, with language choices impacting how one constructs their identity and how others perceive them. It notes that while individuals aim to self-select their identity, others ultimately define it through discourse. Language policies can thus diminish independence and control populations by suppressing politically sensitive languages. In conclusion, the document states that a broad connection exists between language and identity, as language defines ethnic groups, social status, power, and helps determine
Language identity.
The document discusses language identity, power, and politics. It defines identity as something that is constantly negotiated through interactions. There are four types of identity: master, interactive, personal, and relational. Language plays a role in national and cultural identity. Power can be exercised through language by elevating some varieties and suppressing others. Language is also used politically through techniques like presupposition, implicature, metaphors, and euphemisms. Historically, English emerged as the language of power in India under British rule and eventually became a global language with technological advancement.
Barriers to effective intercultural communication
barriers everyone facing while communicating with other culture or with other people. barriers to express emotions while communicating to others.
CHI SDC 2015 1st Milestone
The document discusses research conducted to understand issues around Native American identity and cultural belongingness. It was found that having official tribal membership or growing up on a reservation influences how Native American one's identity is viewed. The problem addressed is how to increase feelings of group membership for those who self-identify as Native American but lack strong tribal affiliation. The proposed solution is an Ojibwe visual dictionary where users can generate and contribute content like word definitions and origin stories to connect with their culture through language learning. Feedback is sought on how well this solution addresses the problem statement and how to motivate contribution to a new system.
Oral expression strategies
This document provides guidance on verbal communication strategies for academic presentations and public speeches. It discusses the importance of audience analysis, setting goals, organizing content logically using a three-step method, and designing effective visuals that are simple, clearly labeled and help convey complex ideas. Engaging the audience through a conversational style, humor, stories and vocal variety is also emphasized. Intercultural communication skills like respecting differences, building trust and understanding body language across cultures are highlighted.
Language & Ethnicity
The document discusses language and ethnicity. It defines ethnicity as being identified with a group descended from common ancestors who share cultural traits like language, religion, and dress. Ethnic varieties of English arise from the languages of immigrant groups and can influence mainstream English over time through the spread of lexical and grammatical features. The document asks questions about ethnic identity and the relationship between ethnicity and language, and provides examples of characteristics and influences on ethnic varieties of English in the US and expressions that have spread to mainstream English from ethnic varieties.
My Spanish Candidates for The Bobs
This document discusses two media organizations - Revista Traviesa and Rancho Electronico. Revista Traviesa focuses on privacy and individual narratives while Rancho Electronico is about building community and promoting alternatives by connecting people. The document also discusses the mobile app Contratados, which aims to help migrant workers in foreign countries understand their rights by providing information via mobile phones in their native language given challenges with language barriers and illiteracy.
Gender and language (linguistics, social network theory, Twitter!)
The relationship between gender, linguistic style, and social networks, using a novel corpus of over 14,000 Twitter users. Prior quantitative work on gender often treats it as a female/male binary, but that's problematic at a theoretical level and descriptively inadequate. By clustering Twitter users by the words they use, we find a natural decomposition of the dataset into various styles and topical interests. Many of these clusters end up having strong gender orientations, but they offer a more accurate reflection of the multifaceted nature of gendered language styles. Previous corpus-based work has also had little to say about individuals whose linguistic styles defy population-level gender patterns. To identify such individuals, we train a statistical classifier, and measure the classifier confidence for each individual in the dataset. Examining individuals whose language does not match the classifier's model for their gender, we find that they have social networks that include significantly fewer same-gender social connections, and that in general, social network homophily is correlated with the use of same-gender language markers. I'll hope to persuade you that the combination of computational methods and social theory offers new perspectives on how gender emerges as individuals position themselves relative to audiences, topics, and mainstream gender norms.
Language, identity, and the ownership of english
This document summarizes an article by Bonny Norton titled "Language, Identity, and the Ownership of English". The summary outlines Norton's examination of the relationship between language, identity, culture and ownership of language. It discusses several key points made in the article, including how identity relates to theories of subjectivity, an example of how language and identity interact in practice through Mai's story, and how research on topics like native/nonnative English teachers and categorization of learners relate to questions of ownership over the English language internationally. In conclusion, the summary restates Norton's argument that English cannot be owned by any one group, but rather belongs to all of its speakers globally.
PLP Digital Citizenship for School Leaders
This document discusses digital citizenship for school leaders. It outlines elements of digital citizenship including digital etiquette, communication, literacy, access, commerce, law, rights and responsibilities, health and wellness, and security. The document suggests that leaders focus on maximizing the learning potential of the internet by teaching responsible use rather than focusing only on protecting students from online dangers. It provides tools and strategies for practicing digital responsibility, such as filtering policies, responsible use policies, copyright guidelines, and direct instruction. Leaders are advised to support teachers with professional development and resources to model best practices.
Language and Identity
This document summarizes a lecture about language and identity. It discusses how structuralism cannot address context, style, and identity considerations. It also discusses how language ideologies view languages as emblems of national identity but that languages are actually more complex, with multiple codes and practices woven into cultural life. Finally, it provides examples of the political histories relating to marginalized languages like Welsh and Mexican Spanish in the contexts of Wales and the United States.
Cross cultural communication
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and outlines techniques for understanding different cultures. It defines culture and discusses concepts like stereotypes, high and low context cultures, and the Hofstede culture matrix. The document provides guidance on interacting with individualistic vs. group-oriented cultures and cultures with different orientations toward achievement vs. quality of life. It also discusses the importance of networks and networking when communicating across cultures.

Cross Cultural Communications: Effective Strategies for Libraries
Cross Cultural Communications: Effective Strategies for LibrariesACRL Academic Library Services to International Students Interest Group
This document discusses effective strategies for cross-cultural communication in libraries. It notes that there were over 670,000 international students in the US in 2009. When communicating across language and cultural barriers, it is important to consider rate and style of speech, cultural references, idioms, jargon, and listening for meaning rather than individual sounds. The document provides examples of idioms, jargon, and cultural references that could cause confusion and recommends speaking clearly and slowly, explaining unfamiliar terms, and avoiding assumptions about shared cultural knowledge.Code-Switching
Code-switching refers to mixing words or phrases from two languages during speech or writing. For African Americans, code-switching can be seen as oppressive due to white privilege permeating social institutions. Within African American culture as well, code-switching is ridiculed and those who do it are seen as "talking white" or being too proper. Factors that lead to code-switching include a lack of resources for schools in poor black neighborhoods, harsher discipline of students of color, obstacles to career advancement for people of color, lack of diverse media representation, whitewashing of religion, and election of a nationalist president comfortable with divides. True post-racial society would not need code-switch
Hs.literacy
Three cognitive aspects support forming and communicating a life story during adolescence: the ability to use language and memory to establish identity; the ability to reflect metacognitively; and understanding others' perspectives. During high school, adolescents develop personal narratives through autobiographies, interviews, journals, and introductions. Teen language connects them and varies based on culture, technology, and situation.
Orality and Literacy
- Walter Ong studied differences between oral and literate societies and how the shift from oral to literate thinking changes human cognition. He argued literacy is necessary for science, history, and philosophy.
- Oral cultures rely on memory and the spoken word holds power. Knowledge does not accumulate over time in oral societies in the same way it does in literate ones.
- Milman Parry recorded epic folk poems in Yugoslavia in the 1930s that were memorized and recited orally, sometimes changing between tellings. His work showed how oral traditions rely on techniques like formulaic phrases to aid memorization and transmission of knowledge.
The Media are Dead, Long Live Media
The document discusses Walter J. Ong's ideas about primary orality, literacy, and secondary orality/literacy and how these concepts have evolved with new media technologies. It suggests that secondary literacy exhibited through technologies like social media is dissonant for primarily literate cultures in the same way secondary orality was dissonant for oral cultures. This leads to discussions on how these shifts impact education, associations, and production models.

LITERACY SLIDES (click here to get full screen)
There is no agreed upon definition of literacy as understandings of it are socially constructed. Literacy involves reading, writing, communicating, and gaining knowledge and can take many forms including cultural, informational, financial, media, scientific, critical, and digital literacies. Literacy is an ongoing social practice that allows for freedom, social action, and rereading of the world from different perspectives.
Cultural difference betn American and Arabs
This document discusses several cultural frameworks for comparing communication styles between American and Arab cultures. It finds that Americans generally prefer direct, linear, and fact-based communication that is low-context, while Arabs tend toward more indirect, non-linear, and imagery-based communication that is high-context. Specific differences highlighted include a preference for repetition vs simplicity, accuracy vs imagery, exaggeration vs understatement, words vs actions, and vague vs specific language. The conclusion emphasizes how cultural differences can be perceived negatively if not brought to conscious awareness.
Discourse
This document provides information about discourse analysis. It defines discourse as language beyond the sentence level and discusses key concepts like cohesion, coherence, intentionality and context. It also outlines different types of discourse such as narrative, descriptive, argumentative. The document compares written and spoken discourse and highlights differences in areas like grammatical complexity, repetition and fillers. Context is emphasized as important for interpreting discourse.

Summer1 b class 1
This class covers the theme of passing through readings, discussions, and assignments. Passing refers to assuming an identity different than one's own for various reasons such as gaining access to opportunities. Historically, it often referred to black people passing as white. However, the theme of passing also applies more broadly to people passing as different races, religions, genders, or sexual orientations. The class will examine passing through works exploring racial, gender, and other forms of identity crossing and deception. Requirements include papers, online posts, tests, and participating in discussions about assigned texts addressing issues of identity and passing.
4.BARRIERS OF COMMUNICATION.pptx
This document provides an overview of communication barriers and effective communication in an oral communication class. It discusses the following barriers in 3 sentences or less each:
Physical barriers can include defects in media, distractions, or disabilities. Cultural barriers arise from different cultural backgrounds, languages, behaviors, or religions between communicators. Organizational barriers involve status relationships, one-way communication flows, complex organizational structures, or too many management levels.
cultural encounters.pptx
This document outlines the steps for a reading lesson on cultural encounters. It begins by asking students what activities people in the past could not do that people today can, like traveling by plane or online chatting. It then previews that the article will discuss culture, cultural communication, and the relationship between culture and language. Students are given 3 minutes to do a quick first read to identify the main ideas before discussing in pairs. They then have 8 minutes to read in more detail in order to answer questions about the content. Finally, students will work in groups to plan an introduction of Chinese culture for a British friend visiting China for the first time, considering what to introduce and how as well as dealing with untranslatable words.
01 sociolinguistic
This document discusses the topic of sociolinguistics. It defines sociolinguistics as the study of language use in society and how language interacts with and helps shape social structures. The document outlines three subcategories of sociolinguistic study: micro-sociolinguistics, macro-sociolinguistics, and three areas of sociolinguistic research - language variation, language contact, and linguistic relativity. It provides examples of research within these areas and discusses implications for language teaching.
Approaches to literacy 2012
This document discusses different conceptions of literacy and illiteracy from various perspectives including:
1. Literacy and illiteracy are social constructs that label and categorize people based on their educational attainment. Illiteracy implies political and intellectual ignorance.
2. Literacy must be understood from cross-disciplinary lenses including language, education, anthropology, sociology, history, and psychology. It is as much a socio-political construct as a linguistic one.
3. A critical theory of language views it as a social process and social practice used within different contexts, as opposed to just a set of skills. Critical pedagogy aims to give students a language of empowerment to interrogate dominant discour
Vocabulary ii slide marcelle 2
The document provides learning objectives and resources for developing vocabulary skills, including using context clues, note-taking strategies, and exploring word meanings, connotations, and usages. It includes links to videos and texts on language topics like British English, politically correct language, analogies, and the irregular nature of the English language. Learning involves repeated exposure to words in different contexts to help comprehend and retain their meanings.
Argument
The document discusses key components of an academic argument, including establishing a clear motive, claim, and supporting evidence. It emphasizes that academic arguments aim to be logical, reasonable, respectful of opposing views, thoughtful, and helpful. The document also outlines how writers can appeal to credibility, emotion, and logic to convince readers of their argument. Overall, it provides guidance on constructing a strong academic argument through establishing a clear thesis and supporting it with valid evidence.
Conference
Language plays a crucial role in human thought and culture. It influences what we think, feel and believe. There are approximately 6,000 languages worldwide, with 95% of people speaking just 100 of those, and linguists are concerned about the languages threatened with disappearance. Language serves seven main functions: instrumental, regulatory, interactional, personal, imaginative, heuristic, and informative. It is unique to humans and acquiring it is critical in early childhood. Language both shapes and reflects the culture of its speakers.

The document discusses how language can promote stereotyping and sexism through the use of racist, stereotypical, and sexist terms. It provides examples of sexist language in words and proverbs, and how culture and theories of language acquisition may contribute to the use of sexist language. The document concludes that treating people equally and implementing equal practices will naturally lead to more inclusive, non-sexist language.
Stylistics.pdf
The document discusses style and register in linguistics. It provides examples of three requests for information - from a friend, in court, and from a teacher - that elicit the same information but differ dramatically in form based on social context. It defines style as how texts are internally differentiated other than by topic, mainly through choice of structural and lexical features. Register refers to varieties of language produced in particular social contexts, such as legal or medical language. Both style and register are influenced by social factors like status, age, and situation. Formality exists on a continuum, and speakers code-switch between styles and registers appropriately depending on social context.

Shirley Brice Heath conducted an ethnographic study of two communities, Roadville and Trackton, located near textile mills in the Carolinas. Roadville was a white working-class community while Trackton was black. Heath observed differences in the language socialization of children in these communities and how it affected their preparation for school and work. The study aimed to understand how preschool environments influence the language skills needed for classrooms and jobs. It remains influential for illuminating the relationship between language, culture, and education.

LAMC104Lec6(1).ppt
This document discusses Dell Hymes' theory of communicative competence as an alternative to Noam Chomsky's theory of linguistic competence. Hymes believed communicative competence goes beyond grammar to include understanding how to appropriately use language in different social contexts and situations. The document also outlines Hymes' SPEAKING framework which examines the setting, participants, ends, act sequences, keys, instrumentalities, norms, and genres of a speech event to understand communicative competence. Finally, it discusses the importance of ethnography and fieldwork to understand how language is actually used within a community.
Communicative competence slides
Communicative competence involves both linguistic and sociolinguistic rules of language. It has four main components: linguistic competence involving grammar, sociolinguistic competence involving appropriate language use for different contexts, discourse competence involving coherent language structures, and strategic competence involving repairing communication breakdowns. Sociolinguistic competence, involving dialect, register, naturalness and cultural aspects, is particularly difficult for non-native speakers to acquire as it differs across cultures and languages.
Linguistics 1 1st lec
This document provides an overview of a linguistics lecture that covered types and functions of language. The lecture defined language as a system for exchanging feelings and ideas among people. It discussed four types of language: spoken, written, paralanguage (body language), and silent language. The lecture also covered two main functions of language: conveying ideas and information, and writing various works like books and poetry.
LIS 502 Socio-Linguistic Paper
This document discusses literacy as both a discipline and punishment in American society. It argues that literacy is unconsciously equated with civilization, and illiteracy is stigmatized. For linguistic minorities, acquiring literacy in English is difficult as their native dialects do not align with standard written English taught in schools. This mismatch contributes to lower literacy rates among minorities. The document examines African American Vernacular English specifically, noting its systematic differences from standard English and how this clash impedes literacy acquisition when students are expected to switch dialects upon entering school. Teachers' lack of understanding of students' home dialects can further hinder literacy development and unfairly label some students as learning disabled.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Cause and effect in orality and literacy
- 1. Cause and Effect in Orality and Literacy Somayeh Pedram
- 2. Orality and Literacy • All societies grade members on verbal skills, either oral or written.
- 3. Verbal skills • Every social group grants high status to members with good verbal skills.
- 5. Oral • Book learning is not important to some people, but we shouldn’t consider them as nonverbal, because they, too, have their tests which are SPOKEN. Such cultures are considered to be ORAL.
- 6. • People lacking formal education and formal high status use such oral displays as a way of gaining status.
- 7. Literacy • In the modern world, literacy has become not only an educational concern, but a political one; and those who are illiterate are severely handicapped. • Literacy is not inborn in humans the way spoken language is, therefore, it’s easy to blame lack of success on the government and the schools.
- 8. • Labove and Abrahams: Those from oral cultures are as intelligent and logical as those from literate ones. What is different is what they are intelligent about. • Ong ( 1982-44-45 ) : Oral cultures develop a “celebration of physical behavior” and that they are more violent than the literate cultures.
- 9. • Ong (78-108) declares that literacy reconstructs consciousness. Because writing transfers speech to the visual plane and the literate are capable of more abstraction and distancing.
- 10. One great advantage of literacy is that one can learn a great deal not attainable by one’s immediate physical and cultural environment.
- 11. Literacy and Spelling • Are you going to be likely to get a job, if you have sent your letter of application with some misspellings? • I got my digree in English Literachure in 2004…. !
- 12. Spelling as Rebellion • African American Vernacular English AAVE • waZ, • boyZ, • gangsta,
- 15. Communicating by Computer A: Hi B: Hi A: How r u? B: I’m ok. U? A: Fine :D Sup? B: w8. brb A: ok
- 16. Communicating by Computer • In electronic discourse we see writing used for the kinds of social interaction formerly believed to be served only by oral communication. • Many scholars fear that computerese will be the death of literacy. * Wat I am sayin iz dat I don wanna …. * He went 2 jail 4 drug dealin??????!!!!!!! :O
- 17. Communicating by Computer • To sum up, electronic discourse such as emails, sms, and chat, aims for an informal , friendly tone as close to face-to-face communication as one can get in writing. It also simplifies the mechanics of writing. : , ; “
