Toward a translingual composition: ancient rhetorics and language difference

The purpose of this dissertation is to outline a pedagogy that promotes language difference in college composition classrooms. Scholarship on language difference has strived for decades to transform teaching practices in mainstream, developmental, and second-language writing instruction. Despite compelling arguments in support of linguistic diversity, a majority of secondary and postsecondary writing teachers in the U.S. still privilege Standard English. However, non-native speakers of English now outnumber native speakers worldwide, a fact which promises to redefine what "standard" means from a translingual perspective. It is becoming clearer that multilingual writers, versed in flexible hermeneutic strategies and able to draw on a variety of Englishes and languages to make meaning, have significant advantages over monolingual students. My dissertation anticipates the pedagogical and programmatic changes necessitated by this global language shift. To this end, I join a number of scholars in arguing for a revival of classical style and the progymnasmata, albeit with the unique agenda of strengthening pedagogies of language difference. Although adapting classical rhetorics to promote translingual practices such as code-meshing at first seems to contradict the spirit of language difference given the dominant perception of Greco-Roman culture as imperialistic and intolerant of diversity, I reread neglected rhetoricians such as Quintilian in order to recover their latent multilingual potential

読んだことを書く：EFL におけるリーディングとライティングを融合する試み

This paper intends to offer rationale for combining the teaching of L2 reading and L2 writing as well as offer suggestions on how to design courses that bridge connections between reading material and writing assignments. The bifurcation of L2 reading and L2 writing courses can lead to incongruent pedagogical approaches and goals. An examination of the inherent relationship between reading and writing provides rationale for a reading-for-writing approach in EFL programs. In addition to the benefits for the second language learner, reading for writing can provide teachers with comprehensive feedback on how well students are able to use the targeted language elements. Since writing is a language skill that has a focus-on-form emphasis, combining reading and writing into one class can help instructors understand to what degree students comprehend grammatical structures and new vocabulary.本稿は、リーディングとライティングを結合させたL２指導法の理論的根拠を提示し、また、リーディングの教材とライティングの課題がうまく結びついた授業を立案する方法について、いくつかの提案をする。L2 のリーディングとライティングを分離させると、指導方法や目的に不調和が生じるかもしれない。「読むこと」と「書くこと」の間に存在する本来的な関係を考えれば、外国語として学ぶ英語のプログラムに「書くことを目的とした読み」の手法を取り入れることは理に適ったものと言える。また、このような授業は学習者にとって有益であるだけでなく、学習者が目標言語を実際に使用できるのかを教師が把握するためのフィードバックの提供にもなる。ライティングは形式に焦点を当てる活動であるから、リーディングとライティングが融合した授業を行う教師は、学習者の文法・語彙の理解度を容易に把握できるであろう

Trinity Restoration Inc.: Southside Cultural Center Economic Impact Study

Economic development has shifted from location-oriented business models towards a more all-encompassing model that recognizes the advancement of human capital or intellectual property as continuously increasing in value. This microcosmic characteristic of development extends to aid in the growth of society as a whole. The Arts and Culture attract a demographic of inspired and motivated people to the area. It results in the development of the society surrounding art venues. The general population will always seek out entertainment, by installing a venue of artistic expression in South Providence that will motivate the community and propel development.
