Prepare a Power Point Presentation on the topics below:
I.Informed by the article, Why Can’t the English Just Give Up That Class Folderol? prepare a presentation that examines words or expressions you consider low class. What are the equivalents spoken by what you consider the educated class? List them side-by-side and discuss the social and political implications of each usage. This assignment refers to the discussion in Chapter 10 Language and Society.
II.Based on the first and second language acquisition theories (two files for your reference in completing this assignment), prepare a data collection method for the observation of a child (5 to 7 year old). I suggest the following:
A.Prepare at least 5 sets of large flash cards
B.For each set of 2 cards, do the following:
1.On first card, place a nonsense word with a picture of it you randomly chose signifier and signified (see Saussure article)
2.Teach the child the nonsense word you created for the thing it refers to in the image/picture
3.Show the child the second card with two of the images signified by the word and ask the child, What do you see, Jane?)
4.Note what the child says to you upon seeing the two images on the second card. Be sure to note all relevant gestures, eye movements and so on as they may suggest information such as is there any hesitation when the child came up with the answer?
5.Repeat the above procedure for all words or sets of cards you prepared and note the child’s response correlated to each card.
6.Conclude your findings by relating to the theory or theories that explains/explain the phenomenon you have observed.
