ELL 101- Global Learning Assignment

 

Part 2: Language Attitudes Assignment

 

In Part 1 of this assignment, you looked at your own language/dialect and discussed attitudes that exist towards your language/dialect. In Part 2, you will choose another language/dialect and research the attitudes that exist about that language/dialect. You may not choose the same language you wrote about in Part 1.

2.1 Questions:

Here are some questions to guide your research and to get you started writing:

  1. Provide background information about this language. For example, how many first language speakers of the language are there? What parts of the world is it spoken in? Who speaks it? Is it commonly spoken as a second language/dialect? Where and who speaks it as a second language/dialect?
  2. What attitudes exist about this language/dialect? What are some things different people might say about it? Give some examples.
  3. Is this language/dialect perceived in different ways in different areas or contexts? What are the differences and why do you think this is?
  4. What social factors do you think are associated with attitudes that people have towards this language/dialect? Racial? Socioeconomic class? Cultural? Education? Ethnic? Sexual or gender identity association? Physical/mental impairment? Anything else? Explain why any of these might contribute to people’s attitudes towards the language/dialect.

After answering these questions, think about the language attitudes that you wrote about in both parts of this assignment and discuss the following in your conclusion:

  • how people perceive others based on how they speak
  • how these attitudes might be another way in which various forms of discrimination continue to occur
  • what steps can you take to counter these perceptions and prejudices?

 

Your paper should be 3 pages minimum, with 12pt Times New Roman Font, double spacing, and 1 inch margins. You must cite two sources (not including the textbook) in Part 2 of the assignment using APA or MLA format.
