Reading Questions for January 23rd Name Packet of short readi.docxsedgar5
Reading Questions for January 23rd Name:
Packet of short readings on code-switching, various authors.
Vocabulary: Code-switching, Crossing
1. Have you ever code-switched, even if it’s just between a more casual and a more formal way of speaking? If you do so often, pick one example and briefly describe it. What was your reason for doing so—does it match the reasons listed in the first article (‘Five Reasons Why People Code-Switch’)?
2. The third and fourth articles (from The Washington Post and the Guardian) both shed further light on the reasons why people might code-switch and also some of the perils. What are some of the downsides or social dangers of the practice?
3. In class I described crossing as the linguistic version of cultural appropriation, but Sociolinguist Ben Rampton, who coined the term, had a somewhat different – and perhaps more optimistic—take on the practice. How did he interpret the social meaning of crossing?
4. What is the social significance of the ‘white voice,’ according to Boots Riley, director of the film ‘Sorry to Bother You’? Is it meant to be a straightforward, accurate representation of how actual white people talk, or is there something more?

Five Reasons Why People Code-Switch
April 13, 201312:26 PM ET
Matt Thompson
Monday, April 8, marked the launch of Code Switch, our new blog covering race, ethnicity
and culture. To commemorate the blog's launch, all week we solicited stories about
code-switching — the practice of shifting the languages you use or the way you express
yourself in your conversations.
People sent us hundreds of stories illustrating the many ways we code-switch and the
many reasons for doing it. Five of those motivations came up again and again in the
stories we read:
1) Our lizard brains take over: The most common examples of code-switching were
completely inadvertent; folks would slip into a different language or accent without even
realizing it or intending to do it. One such story came from Lisa Okamoto, who told us
she was born and raised in Los Angeles by two parents from Japan, a place she's visited
all her life. This trip was particularly memorable (warning, profanity euphemisms
ahead):
If you ever watched the original Ring movie, I think you will understand this: the Japanese take horror stories
pretty seriously, but in a very creepy quiet way. I find Japanese horror movies and haunted houses to be ten
times scarier than the American counter-part.
I went back to Japan with a friend during the summer of 2009, the height of haunted house season in Japan.
(The Japanese have this concept that the summertime is the best time to tell scary stories, because the chill you
feel from fright will cool you down during the humid months.) My friend loves scary stories, and she wanted
to go into a haunted maze when we were visiting Yokohama. I protested and protested but eventually she
convinced me to go t.

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,
33

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?"

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

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

6. “Ser” or “Estar”?
the two ways of saying “to be” in Spanish, and when to use
each one
To be" is the really common verb that lets us say that "he
is in the hot air balloon", or "they are fantastic socks", or
"I am a snappy dresser".)
The two forms of "to be" in Spanish are Ser and Estar.
When to use "ser"
You'll use words from the "ser" column when you're talking
about permanent states or characteristics.
María es inteligente > Maria is intelligent
José es un arquitecto > José is an
architect
María está enferma > María is ill
Juan está en su casa > Juan is at his house
You would always use estar when you're talking about
someone being at a particular location

• Juan …….. en el salón.
• El cielo ………….cubierto.
• Mi hermano ………… actor.
• Mi amigo………..enfadado.
• Alex…..…feliz.

10. Cognates ( false friends)
One evening over dinner my friend was explaining an embarrassing story to her
host family. She got to the punchline, put her head in her hands, and giggled
"estoy embarazada!"
"I'm embarrassed," right? Wrong.
"Estoy embarazada" in Spanish actually means "I'm pregnant". Even though it
looks and sounds like the English word, "embarrassed", it is extremely unrelated.
So here are a couple of false friends you should be particularly
careful of:
Pisar
What is sounds like: To piss
What it actually means: To step on something
You'll crack up when you go to the park and see all the signs saying "No
pisar el césped" ("Do not step on the grass"). Urinating on the grass is
not actually forbidden, just don't step on it.
11. Cognates
Librería
What is sounds like: Library
What it actually means: Book store / stationery store
If you're looking for a public restroom, free wifi and a couch to take a little
siesta, you might not find one at the librería. It will also cost you more to
take the books home.
Carpeta
What is sounds like: Carpet
What it actually means: Folder
When your Spanish teacher tells you to bring "una carpeta" to class,
don't rip up your floor coverings. It's not necessary. And it's not what
she meant either.
Excitado / Excitada
What is sounds like: Excited
What it actually means:
Sexually aroused
