Curating Resources
So – we have covered a lot of ground in this content. We looked at the dynamic power of social media as a tool for professional learning, instruction, and student voice and identity. We also learned that social media and the internet are a double-edged sword. They are a space that requires care, critical thinking, and caution. Educators need to be informed on how to leverage these tools while simultaneously protecting their students. We need to empower students and their families to exercise similar care and apply a similar level of informed responsibility.
To help you make sense of this content, you are being asked to explore in more depth one theme or thread that piqued your interest in this week’s exploration. Your assignment is to pull on that thread and research, organize, and curate a collection of resources. This collection can be part of a lesson for your students or a suite of resources to share with parents or the beginning of a collection to help support your professional practice. You can choose the “just right” number of resources, but it must be at least 5 resources above and beyond the resources shared through this course.
Overview
Your final product will include the following:
The selection of a curation tool from the list below
A topic of your own choosing
Identification of a minimum of 5 resources
A brief description of the purpose of your collection
More on Curation
Here are two articles to provide you with a little more context about “What is curation?” “And why might it be a useful instructional strategy (for you and your students)?”

This essay is to compare and contrast the statements and/or implications of two texts on one general subject or concept, arguing for the significance of one of your observations about difference
and/or similarity and driving towards revelation about further subjects or concepts than the obvious basis for comparison and contrast. (Here are the two texts that should be used for the essay: 1. (LaSalle, Peter. “When English Departments Were Actually Hip … for Me, Anyway.” The Missouri Review, vol. 46 no. 3, 2023, p. 130-151. Project MUSE, https://doi.org/10.1353/mis.2023.a909063.) 2. (Lee, Hea-Ream. “The Last Good Day.” Ecotone, vol. 18 no. 1, 2022, p. 104-113. Project MUSE, doi:10.1353/ect.2022.0021. Nonfiction/Public access) I want the essay in MLA format including: intext-citations and MLA work cited pages.

Assignment Prompt: For this exercise, you will be picking a news article discussing a debate relating to language, gender, and sexuality and provide an analysis of approximately 2-3 pages. Your analysis will be focused on comparing what is said about language and gender to a lay audience with what linguists have to say on the matter. Using the course material, you will come up with your own perspective or argument regarding the topic of the article.
Article to reference/draw from:

the singular “they” and/or neopronouns
language referring to transgender individuals
attempts to put forward more gender-neutral language (including outside of English!)
reports on the ways that men vs. women speak
Your analysis will consist firstly of a summary of the article and what it is saying, and then a description of what the linguistic research says in relation to this topic. Some questions to ask yourself include: Are there multiple sides being presented? Do they seem accurate to what linguists say about language and gender? Are there linguists cited in the article? What language and/or gender ideologies are being presented? Is language even the central point, or are people bringing up other topics in their discussion on language? Ultimately, who do you agree with?
Requirements:
You will need to engage deeply with course concepts, including at least two citations from a course reading thus far. Don’t forget to include a link to the news article you’re analyzing as well! Additionally, the exercise should be at least two pages, double-spaced and in Times New Roman 12pt font. See also the associated rubric for how this exercise will be graded.

1: about myself- Mandarin and Cantones
2. a child or student who speak one or more than one language.
3. Please address both these questions: a) What is language? And, b) Why is it important for educators to know about languages? Be as specific as possible when answering the second question about how knowledge of language will inform YOUR practice as an aspiring or practicing reading specialist, ESL teacher, bilingual educator, early childhood educator, classroom teacher or in another educational role.
Use your experience in the class: class sessions/activities (PPTs),viewing of TED talks, the core text (Freeman & Freeman, 2014), Flores (2019) and Schleppegrell (2018) reading from this week, comparative language study, and multimedia research project to answer the questions. You may choose to comment on your original answer. Show how your own teaching practice is informed by a deepening awareness of language. Conclude with your goals to continue to build your pedagogical language knowledge. What are areas that you’d like to learn more about? How will you do so?

The first page of your paper (approximately 200 – 300 words) should describe an experience you had since the beginning of the semester, during which you observed something that had to do with syntax. Here are some examples:
You might have a conversation with someone who speaks a language other than English. You could discuss differences in syntax between that language and English, or discuss how some syntactical forms are harder to learn in English because it is different.
You might be having a conversation and notice one or more syntactic “errors” or differences that occur in natural conversation. This could be something you said or something someone else said.

Discipline: LANGUAGE SCIENCE

Compose an in-depth literature review that explores hyperbole in a general sense, placing specific attention on numerical hyperboles. Use the provided papers for analysis while incorporating additional sources as necessary.
My research explores the use of hyperbole in Kuwaiti Arabic (KA), focusing on numeral expressions to represent exaggerated quantities. It is the first study of its kind within the field of KA dialect studies, utilising data from various speaker groups, with a primary source being a corpus of KA hyperbolic expressions from X (formerly known as Twitter). The study finds that phrases related to numbers, accumulation, and quantity are particularly effective in crafting vivid hyperboles. In KA, common numerical quantifiers like sittīn ‘sixty,’ imya ‘hundred,’ and malyо̄n ‘million’ are often used hyperbolically. Additionally, KA speakers invent their own terms for large, indefinite numbers, akin to English’s ‘zillion’ or ‘gazillion.’ This includes original creations and borrowings from English and neighbouring Arabic dialects, such as dabalāt ‘doubles’ and ahlēn ‘two hellos.’ The research shows that hyperbole is a significant aspect of linguistic creativity and plays a key role in language evolution. It highlights the diverse ways in which KA speakers use hyperbole, and the impact of these expressions on the language’s development.

THE ESSAY IS ON FORENSIC LINGUISTICS, please do a wide variety of relevant literature on forensic linguistics books or articles. provide clear and concise arguments while having supporting evidence and reference! THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON LANGUAGE USE

1)Create an analytical framework that contains your research question, the chart, table, or figure that shows how you analyzed the relevant research literature and organized your assembled sources according to essential questions, topics, or categories and the key findings for each source. Also include your complete references in APA format/alphabetical order.
1)Create a 2 page analytical framework that contains your research question, the chart, table, or figure that shows how you analyzed the relevant research literature and organized your assembled sources according to essential questions, topics, or categories. Also include complete references in alphabetical order. .
Here is an example of how to format and create the table, but please note: the requirements for this assignment have been revised ,and it is no longer necessary to include that many sources.
2)You use your personal and professional experience as well as growing familiarity with relevant research literature well to establish the importance of your focus on using technological integration to support emergent bilingual and multilingual learners.
In the process, you also begin to identify themes/findings in the research, the next step for this project.
It was not entirely clear how the concept of translanguaging: dynamic use of languages in flexible ways to make meaning, fit into this focus. It seemed, instead, you were alluding to the challenges of being immersed in a new language.
For the next installment of this project, try to tighten the focus to what the research says about the use of technology to support multilingual learners in elementary settings. Identify themes, topics, or categories and presenting findings from each article that align with them.
