Appropriate measurement of autism is essential for determining appropriate intervention strategies. Whereas, there are only a limited autism measures available for use in China. For this reason, valid and reliable measures of autism for use with Chinese speaking individuals are of critical importance. The purpose of the present study is to begin the process of developing two measures of autism for use with Chinese speaking individuals. The development of the measures of autism with Chinese speaking population was started by translating the Questionnaire for Parents or Caregivers of Childhood Autism Rating Scale – Second Edition (CARS2-QPC) and the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale– Second Edition (GARS-2) into Chinese. The translated versions then were given to a group of 20 Chinese Immigrants. The individual scores were examined to see the relationship between the English version and the Chinese version. The individual scores on the Chinese version and the English version of the CARS2-QPC and the GARS-2 correlated highly and significantly. Therefore, this study provided initial support for these Chinese versions of the CARS2-QPC and the GARS-2. Limitations and recommendations for future research were also discussed. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE 1.

  • ADVANCE Disney and Pixar's Original Feature Film “Luca” Is a Fun and Heartwarming Story About Friendship, Stepping out Of
    ADVANCE Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a fun and heartwarming story about friendship, stepping out of your comfort zone and two teenage sea monsters who experience a life-changing summer. “This movie is about the friendships that change us,” says director Enrico Casarosa. “It’s a love letter to the summers of our youth—those formative years when you’re finding yourself.” Adds producer Andrea Warren, “It’s a magical coming-of-age-story. It’s about remembering the people who shaped us along the way.” Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, “Luca” is a story about one boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are both sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface. “Luca is a shy, polite, introverted, rule-following kid who has a secret desire to see the world and learn all he can,” says screenwriter Jesse Andrews. “But he’s been told his whole life that sea monsters should never go above the surface of the water where all the interesting stuff seems to be happening.” So it’s no surprise that Luca harbors a secret fascination with all things human. His curiosity is especially sparked when he discovers items that have floated down from the surface. “Luca knows nothing of the surface,” says screenwriter Mike Jones. “So these items are glimpses of another world—as if it were an object of an extraterrestrial landing on Earth.

  • Animation Guide
    Animation Guide Summer 2017 Preface & Acknowledgements This text represents the work of a group of 28 teachers enrolled in a Media Studies course at the University of British Columbia in the summer of 2017, instructed by Dr. Rachel Ralph. The challenge for the group was to write a Media Studies text that appealed to students in a range from grades 8-12 in the school system, providing teachers with an interesting, diverse, and rich resource for use in the classroom. The individual sections can be adopted and integrated into any number of subjects or adopted as a textbook for New Media Studies in the schools. Many of the Media Study Guides span provincial curricula, exploring commonalities and differences. We acknowledge the support of family and friends and the various cultural agents and artists whose illustrations or texts were incorporated into the sections of the book. We acknowledge the work of students who contributed towards publishing this textbook. We hope you are as inspired with the insights within each section, as we were producing these, and we encourage you to continue learning about media, culture, and technology.

  • 1 “I Grew up Loving Cars and the Southern California Car Culture. My Dad Was a Parts Manager at a Chevrolet Dealership, So V
    “I grew up loving cars and the Southern California car culture. My dad was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership, so ‘Cars’ was very personal to me — the characters, the small town, their love and support for each other and their way of life. I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I wanted to take another road trip to new places around the world, and I thought a way into that world could be another passion of mine, the spy movie genre. I just couldn’t shake that idea of marrying the two distinctly different worlds of Radiator Springs and international intrigue. And here we are.” — John Lasseter, Director ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios are off to the races in “Cars 2” as star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend, the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy), jump-start a new adventure to exotic new lands stretching across the globe. The duo are joined by a hometown pit crew from Radiator Springs when they head overseas to support Lightning as he competes in the first-ever World Grand Prix, a race created to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the finish line is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and bombshells when Mater is mistakenly ensnared in an intriguing escapade of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and “towing” the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).

  • Accent Bias of Pixar's Movie Cars 2
    TITLE: Accent Bias of Pixar’s Movie Cars 2 AUTHORS: Amber Delcid and Gharbeela Sami FACULTY SPONSOR: Eric Friginal, Assistant Professor, Department of Applied Linguistics and ESL Introduction: This project is on Linguistic Profiling. The topic was inspired by John Baugh, the first linguist to coin the term “Linguistic Profiling.” In his experiment, funded by a three year, $500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, he tried to distinguish the “auditory component” of racial profiling while attempting to obtain a rental listing by speaking in three different and distinct accents: Standard American English, Chicano English, and African-American English. Within this project, Baugh’s theme is taken a step further by exploring how common place this bias is against English speakers with strong dialects or accents. Will having an undesirable accent or dialect produce a negative linguistic consequence? Methodology: To collect our data on linguistic prejudice of English dialects, we picked the voices of five characters from the Pixar film Cars 2 . The voices of Lightning McQueen, Miles Axlerod, Fillmore, Tow Mater, and Luigi served as our examples of American neutral, British, West Coast Hippie, Southern, and Italian accents, respectively. To effectively administer our survey, we took audio clips of each of the five voices from both films. By removing the audio from the video, we eliminated possible biases by the way the characters looked or portrayed themselves. Our participants, therefore, were answering the questions only based on the voice they heard. We asked fifteen individuals from three separate age groups giving us a total of forty-five participants. We chose elementary age children, young college students, and adults around age forty or older to fulfill our three age groups.
