GLORIA ANZALDUA
How to Tame a Wild Tongue
Gloria Anzaldua was born in 1942 in the Rio Grande Valley of South
Texas . At age eleven. she began working in the fields as a migrant worker
and then on her family's land after the death of her father. Working her
way through school, she eventually became a schoolteacher and then
an academic, speaking and writing about feminis t, lesbian, and Chi-
cana issues and about autobiography. She is best known for This
Bridge CalJed My Back: Writin gs by Radical Women of Color ( 1981),
which she edited with Cherrie Moraga, and BorderlandsfLa Frontera:
The New Mestiza (1987). Anzaldua died in 2004.
"How to Tame a Wild Tongue" is from BorderlandsfLa Frontera.
In it, Anzaldua is concerned with many kinds of borders - between
nations, cultures, classes, genders, languages. When she writes, "So, if
you want to really hurt me, talk badly about my language" (par. 27),
Anzaldua is arguing for the ways in which identity is intertwined
with the way we speak and for the ways in which people can be made
to feel ashamed of their own tongues. Keeping hers wild - ignoring
the closing of linguistic borders - is Anzaldua's way of asserting her
identity.
"We're going to have to control
your tongue," the dentist says, pulling out all the metal from my
mouth. Silver bits plop and tinkle into the basin. My mouth is a
motherlode .·
The dentist is cleaning out my
roots. I get a whiff of the stench when I gasp. "I can't cap that
tooth yet, you're still draining," he says.
"We're going to have to do some-
thing about your tongue," I hear the anger rising in his voice. My
tongue keeps pushin g out the wads of cotton, pushing back the
drills , the long thin needles. 'Tve never seen anything as strong or
as stubborn," he says. And I think, how do you tame a wild tongue,

train it to be quiet, how do you bridle and saddle it? How do you
make it lie down?
"Who is to say that robbing a people of
its language is less violent than war?"
- RAY GWYN SMITH 1
I remember being caught speaking Spanish at recess - that
was good for three licks on the knuckles with a sharp ruler. I
remember being sent to the comer of the classroom for "talking
back" to the Anglo teacher when all I was trying to do was tell her
how to pronounce my name. "If you want to be Ameri ca n, speak
'American.' If you don't like it, go back to Mexico where you
belong."
"I want you to speak English. Pa' hallar buen trabajo tienes que 5

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
