Discourse theory proposes that language learning evolves from learning how to have conversations. It emphasizes that children acquire language through interaction with others, not just by overhearing language. According to this theory, the natural order in which a second language is acquired develops from learning conversational strategies and rules, such as turn-taking and topic nomination. Native speakers help learners by adjusting their speech through modifications like repetition and paraphrasing to aid comprehension.
I would like to share here my ppt presentation of this SLA theory. It was hard finding and putting together the right materials or articles for my report but my Professor liked this final presentation^^ Through other presentations I found online, I somehow gained the idea on what and how to report it.
I hope this will also help other MALED students researching for this topic^^
Kindly inform me if I failed to cite other sources that you know or see. Thank you very much.

Jewish Women And Identity In 19 C French Orientalist PaintingsPaige Dansinger
Â
Jewish womenâs identity in 19th C. French Orientalist paintings contributed to shaping how Jewish female identity has changed from the period of the Post-Enlightenment to Modernist times. An examination of the evolution of how the painterâs model was portrayed archetypically in North Africa, from sacred Moroccan bride to Harem odalisque and finally to the Femme Fatal figure reveals symptoms of this transformation. By surveying the art of French Orientalists and the texts of 19th and 20th-century scholars, historians, literature and artist writers, we may better understand how Jewish womenâs identity has been influenced by such things as; Anti-Semitism, Post-Colonial theories exploring the âOther,â such as Saidâs Orientalism, Ashkenazi and Mizrahi relations and Jewish/Arab feminist dynamics. This research is important because it may lead to a broader comprehension of contemporary Jewish identity for women. Hopefully this understanding may ultimately help to confront and diminish stereo-types, Anti-Semitism, social and political injustices as well as personal identity issues that Jewish women have commonly faced.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
Â
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more âmechanicalâ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

exposure to language is sufficient to set the
childâs language generating machinery in

successful first language acquisition to take
place, interaction, rather than exposure is
required; children do not learn language from
overhearing the conversations of others or from
listening to the radio, and must, acquire it in the
context of being spoken to.â
