Jacqueline Ng also presents a compelling argument for the use of digital storytelling as a means of exploring transnational identities and enhancing language learning. One strength of the argument is the author's emphasis on the importance of recognizing the diversity of cultural backgrounds and experiences that students bring to the classroom, it creates a more inclusive and welcoming learning environment.. As the author notes, "Many ELL students experience feelings of marginalization and displacement in their new surroundings" (Ng, 2021).

    Lee then gave an accurate portrayal of their beliefs and daily life. However, for the students who saw Lee as an outsider their story might not have been illustrated the way they deemed to be true. Lee states that it was “difficult for me to gain the acceptance of the low-achieving Asian Americans” (Lee, 2009, p.21). Lee is unable to fully connect with some of the Asian american students, especially the new wavers. After interviewing a new wave student she states that “it was obvious I had offended her… I learned to be more careful about how I approached new wave students” (Lee, 2009, p.45).

    Introduction Paragraph Revised: Segregation not only stands as a hindrance when attempting to gain an education it also can be found harmful to one’s mentality. The word segregation in most cases means a separation between different backgrounds whether it be racial, ethical, or even religious. Segregation, however, is not as simple as the definition portrays. Segregation had been the very plague to root itself from not only within our nation but also inside of each of us. Even to this very day, segregation finds itself creeping into our now reformed society.

    Another impactful discrimination however is student to student. This is where the students in the classroom either leave out the ESL student or bully them for any differences they notice. Francisco experienced this first hand. When the students picked teams to play, Francisco was always last to be picked because he was the smallest child and could not speak English. This kind of discrimination causes extreme barriers in the classroom and isolation for the ESL

    After watching "The Illusion of Gender" Ted Talk by Lara Americo, I was both compelled and intrigued by what the actual definition and meaning of gender is, versus what society tends to paint it as. The main purpose of the video is Lara explaining why she's always felt like a woman since her youth, despite both being born a male and receiving a lack of value from her father for her femininity. But despite the home environment around Lara during her childhood, she claims her femininity was something inescapable, as she saw it as a genuine expression she legitimately felt was an aspect of her own identity. An identity she knew did not correlate with her biological sex, since Lara's gender was the opposite of her assigned male status at birth.

    In this week’s Ted Talk, Alison Gopnik focused on the thought process of babies. In the past, people believed that babies could not perceive another individual’s thoughts, however with the passage of time these believes have changed. To help us understand what babies could be thinking and if they acknowledge other people’s thoughts, Gopnik explained how she and one of her students tested this idea by using broccoli and crackers. The student gave 15 and 18 month-old babies two bowls, one with broccoli and the other one with crackers, and the babies showed more preference for the one with the crackers. The student, on the other hand, tasted the food from both bowls in front of the babies and acted as if she loved the broccoli and dislike the

  • Comparing Maxine Hong Kingston's Silence And E. W.

    Interesting books, articles, and readings always grab my attention, especially the ones which make me think and change the way I think. Both Maxine Hong Kingston’s Silence and E.W’s Why do writers abandon their native language are expressive, meaningful and thought-provoking readings. Although both of the characters left their homeland, in contrast to Jhumpa Lahiri who abandoned her native language and started to only write in Italian, Maxine Hong Kingston never abandoned her native language and even demonstrated herself only in it. First of all, both characters in the readings had origins of different countries, however, due to circumstances both of them moved to an environment different from their native one.

  • Maxine Hong Kingston's Essay 'The Language Of Silence'

    1189 Words  | 5 Pages

    Language is first learned as an infant by absorbing and mimicking one's environment, surroundings, and daily life. For some, like myself, more than one language is spoken, and learning how to balance multiple languages can be a challenge. Trying to integrate language with culture and environment at times can be interesting and other times demanding and tiresome. Maxine Hong Kingston describes her struggles in coping with the differences in her languages, coming to terms with herself, and accepting how her culture uses language in her essay, “The Language of Silence”. Although similar struggles are had by Christine Marin, she writes in her essay “Spanish Lessons”, about how she discovered her culture through language, how it empowered her, and how she learned to love that part of herself.
