SUMMARY:Center for Language Science Speaker Series: Kim Potowski, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:\nMany U.S.-raised individuals from Spanish-speaking familie
s suffer a “triple bullying”. First\, the country is 80 percent monoling
ual in English\, and many people insist that this is the only language t
hat belongs here. Next\, many Spanish teachers damage students’ linguist
ic self-esteem by calling their ways of speaking Spanish deformed and in
correct. Finally\, perhaps most painfully\, members of their own communi
ties make fun of the ways they speak Spanish. The currently popular term
“no sabo kids” makes fun of people who\, though no agency of their own\
, did not develop strong levels of communicative ability in Spanish. It
is not surprising\, then\, that many of our students prefer to stop spea
king Spanish altogether. This talk discusses ways to push back against t
hese narratives and empower our students to continue growing their Spani
sh abilities.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/cls-s
