Annotated Bibliography: Critical Pedagogy and Globalization What does critical pedagogy and globalization mean to technology, condition, and learning? This is the research question that guided the search of relevant articles. Initially, I limited the key words to “critical pedagogy,” “globalization,” “technology,” “cognition,” and “learning” using all databases but found no result. Consequently, I added “critical pedagogy” and “globalization” to “technology,” “cognition,” and “learning” individually to find appropriate articles. Furthermore, the filter included limiting studies to the past seven years to acquire the latest research. Additionally, they included diverse subjects but had emphasis on language learning classes. Moreover, instead of limiting myself to the U.S. context, I included diverse settings.

He applied critical pedagogy in examining the political nature of language and language-teaching classes. Specifically, he asserted that teachers should discuss the dominant linguistic practices and hierarchies with students to encourage them in analyzing the role of language in performing different social functions and identity development. In addition, language learning is related to globalization through the significance of bilingualism in communication and multicultural education. After studying several reports on language and society, Del Valle (2014) concluded that teachers should inform students of their linguistic choices by equipping them with the analytical tools required to study these political, social, and cultural choices. Critical pedagogy includes training students' critical thinking skills for greater understanding of metalinguistic content that can meet the intellectual needs and challenges of global multicultural education. Del Valle (2014) highlighted the importance of critical discourses to engaging in global settings in which race, language, and power

My Rhetorical Analysis Language is a part one’s identity and culture, which allows one to communicate with those of the same group, although when spoken to someone of another group, it can cause a language barrier or miscommunication in many different ways. In Gloria Anzaldua’s article, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, which was taken from her book Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, she is trying to inform her readers that her language is what defines her. She began to mention how she was being criticized by both English and Spanish Speakers, although they both make up who she is as a person. Then, she gave convincing personal experiences about how it was to be a Chicana and their different types of languages. Moreover, despite the fact that her language was considered illegitimate, Anzaldua made it clear that she cannot get rid of it until the day she dies, or as she states (on page 26) “Wild tongues can’t be, they can only be cut out.”

In How to Tame a Wild Tongue by Gloria Anzaldua, the concept of language is tied to ethnic identity. There is an interconnection between language and identity. The attitude that members of the community where she lives have towards her way of speaking (Chicano Spanish) is highlighted. This results in harmful effects that impact her identity as well as the one of the Chicano citizens that live in the borders. It is clear that there is a totally different understanding of the world and by focusing on the context-centered lens, racism concepts are expressed in the text.

Chisholm feels that teaching students needs to learn how to become more reflective practitioners, gain cultural competence, become effective cross-culture communicators, understand the interrelationship between language and culture, understand that cultural roots of cognition are linked to language, and they must adapt the content of instruction and teaching style to students’ cultural and individual

The parent’s perspective towards bilingual education was like the student’s opinions because both individuals felt immersion classrooms benefit the students and the parents. The father of Jason was proud his son was the first in his family to read, write, and speak in English. Jason’s father knew his son would have many career opportunities by learning English at school. Learning the English academic language was not the only proud language Jason’s father encouraged for Jason to learn but also the Spanish language as well. Jason’s father only speaks Spanish so if his son was to lose his home language, a language barrier would form between father and son.

Noely Ramos Ramos 1 Ms.Cirelli AP Language 09/18/15 Argumentative Essay Common sense seems to dictate that bilingual education will be good for students to express themselves to peers and form their identities. Many seem to argue that language is a form of self-being and that it should be used freely in schools. However, those who are fighting for bilingual education fail to consider the obstacles that it forms for teachers in a classroom setting. I argue that english should be set as a default language in a professional environment so that students can form community rather than remain separate through language. This makes it easier on teachers, teaches students to adapt to their environments, and overall creates a way for all

The proficiency level descriptors, which describe the English that ELLs can understand and use at each proficiency level, guide teachers in providing appropriate linguistic supports and accommodations. The ELPS and TELPAS are designed to work together to enable ELLs to make steady progress in learning the English that is necessary for meaningful engagement in grade-appropriate content area instruction. The second language acquisition knowledge and skills in the ELPS are the means for helping ELLs learn English simultaneously with academic subject matter. Together, the ELPS and TELPAS provide formative and summative assessment opportunities that support teaching and learning. Learning a second language is different from learning a first language.

Additionally, the teacher used a dialogically organized discussion while many other teachers prefer different methods of teaching, so it is hard to connect the results of one study to all classrooms. I did think it was cool to use a mainly Spanish speaking classroom because readers can really see how heavily they relied on the images before they were able to read and how by the end of the year, they were reading and analyzing the linguistic content. Although there were some flaws in how the authors carried out the research they provided a lot of data such as graphs that showed how much students participated in the beginning versus the end of the year related to different texts and if it was image related or not, how students increased in asking meaningful questions and commenting about the linguistic content throughout the year, and differences in references for the more proficient decoders versus the less proficient decoders. Overall, I thought the study was carried out in a very specific way where the researchers recorded every “utterance to be able to identify the relative frequency of individual moves related to images and linguistic content” (Aukerman & Schuldt, 2016, p.

Critical Whiteness Studies responds to the invisible and normative nature of whiteness in predominantly white societies, criticizing racial and ethnic attribution of non-white subjects who have to grapple with their deviation from the set norm, and opening the discussion on white privilege that results from being the unmarked norm (Kerner: 278). As Conway and Steyn elaborate, Critical Whiteness Studies aims to “redirect[...] the scholarly gaze from the margins to the centre” (283) and, more specifically, to interrogat[e][...] the centre of power and privilege from which racialization emanates but which operates more or less invisibly as it constructs itself as both the norm and ideal of what it means to be human. (ibid.) Thus, Critical Whiteness

Demise Will Seelman “Any system that values pleasure over human life is a very dangerous one indeed.” (Kassem). Franz Kafka’s notorious work, In the Penal Colony, incorporates the main element of power, all while creating subsidiary arguments about subversion and authority. The reason why Kafka highlights these features is that it shows the extent to which a person or regime can reach, as evident in the story, while conversely showing what it takes to resist it. The four characters in the story (The Traveler, The Officer, The Condemned Man, and The Soldier) all have roles that contribute to the overarching theme of power, with some contributing more than others.

Frank Smith, a famous author from the Cold War era, stated, “one language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” (Smith 110). Several school districts across the nation have implemented dual language immersion programs in their elementary schools. With a fast-growing immigrant rate in the United States, being multilingual has become extremely useful to many U.S. citizens. Dual language immersion programs should be implemented into every elementary school curriculum because children in these programs acquire a second language, which helps them develop useful skills, become more aware of cultures around the world, and, contrary to the opposition’s claim, it does help students learn better in school.

It is a fact that there is not a clear, unequivocaldefinition of what it is meant by urban education. According to Milner (2012), there are many different situations where teachers, researchers, theoreticians, policymakers and practitioners use the term urban in order to characterize a school district. Some of them are limited to the characteristics of the school itself, while others take into consideration the larger social context where the schools and districts are located. In general, communities are characterized as suburban, urban or rural.

Globalization is the process of transformation of the whole world into the global village, and it means that the borders of countries are open to reciprocal integration and connection. All governmental systems in both developed and developing countries were under the influence of various globalization processes. Regarding education, it is considered that developing countries felt significant impact of the globalization processes in the last 40 years. Globalization and education are considered as an intertwined set of global processes affecting education, such as worldwide discourses on human capital such as are lifelong learning, the knowledge economy and technology, English as a global language; multilateral organizations and multinational corporations. Educational discourses generally assign to human capital, lifelong learning for improving job skills, and economic development, because most governments prioritize the developing the human capital to stimulate economic progress.

Introduction Prior to taking this course, my perspective on globalization was very limited because I had very little knowledge and experience with this topic. I never gave much thought to the educational practices or policies that are implemented across the globe. There are many factors to consider when it comes to the process that these countries have taken to successfully integrate technology into their K-12 education system. Before even taking this course I will admit that I have thought about how great it would be to connect with educators or health professionals across the globe, but I never thought I could make it happen.
