Linguistic / cultural memoir | Education homework help

Linguistic/Cultural Memoir

This assignment has two parts.  You will first write an essay that considers the questions about the history, culture, and language use of your family. Research documents and interview a family member to discuss the questions, as outlined below.  Finally, write about your own cultural and linguistic experience.  In the second part of the assignment, you will link your personal and family culture and linguistic development to the concepts we learned about during the semester.  (A minimum of 800 words)

 

Part 1:

·
Researching your family’s background, cultural and linguistic development

you fit into this group (or how do you 
not fit in)?

 

·
Defining/describing your experience/history/identity as a language learner/user

Using your findings and comparisons from above, together with what you recognize to be your own experiences, respond to the following questions using narrative form.

·

· Who are you as a language user? Do you consider yourself to be monolingual? Bilingual? Multilingual? Why? Think about how we define these terms in this class, how we describe the ways that bi/multilingual use language, and how you learned any languages that you use (think about the theories and perspectives).

· What are some defining language learning experiences in your life?  

· What assumptions did you hold about your language use? About the language use of others?

· How has your culture, ethnicity, and/or identity influenced the way that you use language?
