Abstract


    Migration contributes significantly to the occurrence of language contact and language changes. Migrant communities as diaspora are always faced with choices whether maintaining the use of mother tongue in interacting, switching to using the word of the host, or using ethnic languages side by side with the host language in a new place. This research is intended to provide evidence of the phenomena of communication and social identity focusing on the language use and attitude of diaspora communities in Bali. It is a sociolinguistic study using descriptive qualitative methods on the Muslim community in three regencies that had lived in Bali for more than a generation.


    The data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and direct observation. The result shows that most diaspora communities see the mother tongue as an essential means of maintaining their social identity. From language choice and attitude perspective, the diaspora community leads to three categories, namely (1) the population that identifies themselves as more diaspora than Balinese; (2) the community claiming themselves as more Balinese than diaspora and (3) the community considering themselves as diaspora and Balinese (dual identity). Keywords: Diaspora community, language attitude, language choice, social identity.

Diversity and Inclusive Teaching


(The University of Delaware.)


    Teaching to engage diversity, to include all learners, and to seek equity is essential for preparing civically engaged adults and for creating a campus and society that recognizes the contributions of all people. Teaching for diversity refers to acknowledging a range of differences in the classroom. Teaching for inclusion signifies embracing difference. Teaching for equity allows the differences to transform the way we think, teach, learn and act such that all experiences and ways of being are handled with fairness and justice. These ideas complement each other and enhance educational opportunities for all students when simultaneously engaged. Three imperatives make it essential for us to actively practice teaching for diversity, inclusion, and equity:


    Difference is an essential part of our history and current reality. Dealing with human diversity and differential status isintractable in America due to our national history of racism and tensions between individual freedom and the common good.


    Difference is an unstoppable part of our future. Classrooms are increasingly diverse and demography assures that this trend will continue.


    Diversity and inclusion improve teaching and learning. People learn and enrich their abilities to think critically and creatively as they engage in conversations across difference, especially when all learners’ abilities and attributes and embraced.


    Inclusive teaching strategies are intended to ensure that all students feel supported such that they freely learn and explore new ideas, feel safe to express their views in a civil manner, and respected as individuals and members of groups. Intentionally incorporating inclusive teaching strategies helps students view themselves as people who belong to the community of learners in a classroom and university.

The Prayer

(Celine Dion & Josh Groban.)



I pray you'll be our eyes


And watch us where we go


And help us to be wise


In times when we don't know.



Let this be our prayer


When we lose our way


Lead us to a place


Guide us with your grace


To a place where we'll be safe.



I pray we'll find your light


And hold it in our hearts


When stars go out each night


Remind us where you are.



Let this be our prayer


When shadows fill our day


Lead us to a place


Guide us with your grace


To a place where we'll be safe.



A world where pain and


Sorrow will be ended


And every heart that's


Broken will be mended


And we'll remember


We are all God's children


Reaching out to touch you


Reaching to the sky.



We ask that life be kind


And watch us from above


We hope each soul will find


Another soul to love.



Let this be our prayer


Just like every child


Needs to find a place


Guide us with your grace


Give us faith so we'll be safe.

An oral approach should not be confused with the obsolete Direct Method, which meant only that the learner was bewildered by a flow of ungraded speech, suffering all the difficulties he would have encountered in picking up the language in its normal environment losing most of the compensating benefits of better contextualization in those circumstances.

Cartoons can sometimes make a serious point. Benjamin Franklin’s 1754 “Join or Die” began the use of political cartoons. These visuals have been important in history by informing illiterate citizens and conveying a point of view on a political issue. Cartoonists, with a single picture, could insult enemies, celebrate allies, change people’s minds on important issues, and be humorous enough to make an impact on the public’s view. Political cartoons bring humor and exaggeration to past and current issues. I tell my students political cartoons are pictures with a point. We can provide students with the tools and questions they can use to decode and understand political cartoons.

Brown (2007) offers four interconnected characteristics of CLT:


1. Classroom goals are focused on all of the components of CC (communicative competence) and not restricted to grammatical or linguistic competence.


2. Language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes. Organizational language forms are not the central focus but rather aspects of language that enable the learner to accomplish those purposes.


3. Fluency and accuracy are seen as complimentary principles underlying communicative techniques. At times fluency may have to take on more importance than accuracy in order to keep learners meaningfully engaged in language use.


4. In the communicative classroom, students ultimately have to use the language, productively and receptively, in unrehearsed contexts.
