There are many types of journalism including print, television, and internet. Knowing a second language can help journalists reach wider audiences and provide benefits beyond just creating content in another language. It can aid in conducting interviews, investigations, understanding cultural context, and specialized terminology. Some particularly useful languages for journalism include Arabic for Middle East news, Chinese for business and technology, Spanish for Latin America and domestic US issues, and English if it is not your first language. As the world becomes more interconnected, understanding multiple languages will help journalists get information faster and be more involved in global affairs.

Choosing your variety or code.
I am a lecturer in English at Khawaja Fared Govt. College Rahim Yar Khan. Here is my humble effort to discuss How to choose variety or code in multilingual society.
Introduction 493 (With Notes) Tape Recording Switch
This document discusses dual language development in three key areas:
1. It outlines how children acquire their first language (L1) quickly in the first 5 years of life, learning phonology, lexicon, syntax, morphology, and communicative competence.
2. It defines dual language learners as either simultaneous bilinguals who acquire L1 and L2 together from birth, or sequential bilinguals who acquire L2 after establishing L1, typically after age 3.
3. Success in dual language development depends on linguistic, psychological, and social factors, such as the similarity of languages, quality of input, age and motivation of the learner, and the status and support of L1 and L2 in
Les mechant anges
The document discusses strategies for being a successful foreign language learner based on a group project. The group, called "Les mechant anges", conducted a survey and group discussions to identify effective strategies. These included using the language in daily life, practice, learning from mistakes, memorization, translation, playing language games, reading materials in the target language, watching movies/shows, listening to music, and speaking with native speakers. The top three strategies identified were using the language in daily life, memorization, and translation. Setting up different learning strategies and practicing were emphasized as important to becoming proficient in a foreign language.
Individual differences in L2 users and L2 learners
This document discusses motivation and attitudes towards second language learning. It first outlines key topics like motivation for L2 learning, motivation and teaching, and attitudes. It then defines integrative and instrumental motivation for learning a second language. Next, it examines attitudes towards multilingualism and how attitudes can impact the L2 learning process. The document also explores individual differences that may influence how well someone learns a second language, such as age, cognitive style, intelligence, sex, and first language proficiency.
Multilingual brain
1) The document discusses the brain differences between monolingual and multilingual individuals. It describes various types of bilinguals and how their mental lexicons are organized.
2) Research shows that different languages may activate different brain regions, especially for later-acquired languages. Proficiency and age of acquisition also impact brain activation patterns.
3) Being multilingual provides cognitive advantages like improved task switching abilities. It may also delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. However, multilingual children can have smaller vocabularies in individual languages initially.
Teaching English pronunciation for the real world
This document summarizes a webinar on teaching English pronunciation for international communication. The webinar addressed:
1) Why teach pronunciation given most English users are non-native speakers.
2) Prioritizing intelligible features like vowels, consonants, stress for the "Lingua Franca Core" over precise native-like forms.
3) Classroom techniques like awareness raising, drilling, and exploiting learners' shared challenges that respect the diversity of English used globally.
Going Pinternational: Bringing Pinterest to 32 languages in under a year
**DOWNLOAD THE DECK TO SEE PRESENTER NOTES AND TO GET MORE CONTEXT.**
(Converting from Keynote to PPT means it's now 50% uglier.)
Presented at Confab Europe on Sept. 30, 2014.

Localizing your product or website is a huge challenge that can take months and months of time and effort. At Pinterest, localization is especially tough because our business is all about being personal and relevant. People come to Pinterest to discover things that are tailored to their interests, whether that’s motorcycles or DIY party planning. How do you make things personal and relevant on a global scale?
I'll talk about how to:
-Train remote translators on voice & style while making adjustments for culture.
-Create low maintenance processes and documents for localizing content.
-Test translation quality among users quickly and effectively.
Tools mentioned: Smartling, oDesk, Google Drive
Bilingual memory storage
This document discusses different aspects of bilingual memory storage and representation. It describes three main models of bilingual memory organization:
1. Compound bilinguals store information about a concept at a shared conceptual level across languages but represent words independently in each language.
2. Coordinate bilinguals store each language separately, so the meanings of words and their translations are kept distinct.
3. Subordinate bilinguals initially link words in the second language to their first language translations, accessing meaning through the first language.
The models are presented as dynamic, and bilingual representation can change from subordinate to compound as proficiency increases. Concrete words like cognates may be stored compound while abstract words are more coordinate
L2 acquisition
This document summarizes key topics in second language acquisition (SLA) including:
1. SLA draws on linguistics, psychology, and first language acquisition to understand how people learn a new language.
2. Learners' first language influences their second language development through transfer of features and in the formation of an interlanguage.
3. Variation exists between a learner's competence and performance due to processing constraints and other factors like communication demands.
Language and thought
The document discusses four inadequate notions about the relationship between thought, language, and speech:
1) Speech production is fundamental to thought. This is rejected because thought precedes speech in children and some think without speaking.
2) Language is necessary for thought. This is rejected because deaf people and animals think without language.
3) One's language determines one's views of nature. This is rejected because the same language can have changing meanings and multilinguals have different views.
4) One's language determines one's culture. This is rejected because the same language can describe different cultures and different languages can share cultural views.
The document argues that language influences thought by providing new ideas, changing beliefs
Spa 1.56
The document provides an agenda for a Spanish language lesson that includes reviewing verb conjugations, discussing strategies for learning Spanish, and brainstorming about the importance and benefits of language learning. The lesson plans to review estar verb conjugations, discuss ways to manage frustration with Spanish, and get students' ideas about why it's important to learn the same language and how communication works through shared language.
L1 & l2
This document discusses similarities and differences between first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition. Both involve constructing language from prior knowledge, being active learners who test hypotheses, and requiring interaction. However, L2 learners are generally more cognitively developed, have greater control over input, and may face issues with attitude or motivation not present for L1 learners. Younger L2 learners are argued to acquire language in a manner similar to L1 learners, while older learners have strategies and L1 knowledge to support acquisition. Proficiency involves mastery of various competencies, and can take years to develop depending on the skill. Learners progress through various stages of acquisition from comprehension to flu
THE GOALS OF LANGUAGE TEACHING.pptx
Language teaching can be described as teaching people a foreign language so that they can understand and speak the language. The goals of ELT or language teaching are both far-reaching and highly individualized. This is because most of the answers on why
a person would like to learn a second language come
from the individuals involved. Although most of the
reasons may be individualized, some of the reasons are
universal. These include the idea that English language
is one of the global languages spoken in a large number
of countries worldwide. From a general perspective,
people cite various reasons for learning this language
that include but not limited to the future of one’s career,
travelling reasons especially in countries that speak
English, to gain a better comprehension of the ways of
life experienced in the countries where the language is
spoken, and to be able to live in a country where the
language is spoken.
The external goals relate to the usage of the
learnt language outside of the classroom context. This
could be usage of the language while travelling around
or when using the language in trains. It can also be seen
when an individual attends lectures in another country
or when surviving in a country as a refugee. These contexts represent the usage of a language to fulfill the external category. On the side of the internal category, the
goals are related to the individual’s mental development. After learning the second language, the individuals may begin thinking differently, start approaching
language from a different perspective, and become better citizens because of the effects of learning a new language. This is because a new language can have diverse
effects on the learners’ minds (Nunan and David 48-52).
While the L1 language may train the brain, the L2 can
increase the individual’s awareness. In most instances
and for most individuals, external reasons dominate the
language teaching methodology. Self-development is
also a key reason of learning a second language.
Waiting for the Babel Fish: Languages and Multilingualism
The document discusses the challenges of building tools that support multilingual users and allow for code switching between languages. It notes that most people are multilingual to some degree, but many online tools assume a one-language-per-user model. It provides recommendations for tools to support multilingual users better, such as localizing interfaces in multiple languages, allowing users to specify multiple languages, and designing features that facilitate mixing languages. The document argues for "multilingualization" rather than just translation to enable code switching online.
Nov.6
This document discusses strategies for language learning. It covers goals for a language learning class, including discussing the characteristics of good language learners. Examples are provided of language learner profiles from students who are fluent in additional languages. The document then outlines various strategies for improving speaking, reading, and writing skills in the target language, and strategies good language learners employ for communicating effectively. Suggestions are made for homework and upcoming class discussions.
lesson 8 SLA a
This document summarizes key points about second language acquisition from chapters in two textbooks. It discusses that while some are born bilingual, most learn a second language later in life. Acquisition means natural learning through use, while learning is a more conscious effort. Factors like age of exposure, motivation, classroom environment, and use of the language can impact success. Practice is important, and adults have advantages over children but learn differently. Full fluency may require hundreds of hours of study and use over time.
I linguaggi usati nel business
This document summarizes the findings of a global survey on the languages used in business. The survey found that:
- English is the most commonly used language for interacting with people in other countries, used by 52% of respondents.
- Other frequently used languages include Spanish (12%), French (7%), German (5%), and Portuguese (4%).
- The languages used varies by country, with locations more likely to use languages of neighboring countries when interacting internationally.
L2 acquisition
This document discusses key topics in second language acquisition (SLA) including:
1. SLA draws from linguistics, psychology, and first language acquisition to understand how people learn a new language.
2. Learners' first language influences their second language development through transfer of features and in the formation of an interlanguage.
3. Factors like a learner's age when starting to acquire the second language, their motivation levels, cognitive abilities, and classroom environment can impact their success in learning the new language.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
