 Reflecting on Translingual Language Learning

Choose one of the following:

Look closely at Sections 305 and 306 of Proposition 227, and compare the amendments that Proposition 58 makes to these two sections. What was changed and why?
Select one of the SABE Storytime videos, and analyze the teacher’s use of Spanish and English in communicating with the student and/or with their parents. Do you notice any nuances or subtle strategies in the teacher’s language performance?

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the MLA Language Map and Data Center, compose a simple research question that you can use these tools to help you answer. For example, you might ask “which zip codes in San Luis Obispo are the most linguistically superdiverse?” Then, using the Map and Data Center, compile a list of the top five zip codes. You might also document the relative number of languages spoken in each, and the most widely spoken language after English and Spanish.
