    CONFERENCE BULLETIN International Conference on Language Development, Language Revitalization and Multilingual Education in Ethnolinguistic Communities 1-3 July, 2008 Bangkok, Thailand -1- CONFERENCE BULLETIN International Conference on Language Development, Language Revitalization and Multilingual Education in Ethnolinguistic Communities 1-3 July 2008 Bangkok, Thailand Printed by: Institute of Language and Culture for Rural Development Mahidol University ISBN: 978-974-8349-47-3 Printed at: Threelada Limited Partnership, Bangkok Tel. (662)462 0303 -2- PREFACE Since the 1st International Conference on Language Development, Language Revitalization and Multilingual Education in 2003,1 increasing numbers of ethnolinguistic communities, NGOs, universities and governments in Asia and the Pacific have expressed interest in and /or begun implementing mother tongue-based multilingual education (MT-based MLE) programs for children and adults who do not speak or understand the language used in mainstream education. That trend now seems to be growing in Africa as well. Also during that time, there as been an increase in the number of efforts in many parts of the world to document, revitalize and sustain the heritage languages and cultures of non-dominant language communities through language development (LD) and language revitalization (LR) programs. In spite of these efforts, the purposes and benefits of language development, language revitalization and multilingual education are still not widely understood or accepted. Many LD, LR and MT-based MLE efforts remain quite weak and do not build on what has been learned through research and practice around the world. Clearly, more awareness-raising and advocacy are still needed. Also needed is more information about what works and what does not work in planning, implementing and sustaining strong LD, LR and MT-based MLE programs.

  • The Kalimah in the Kaleidophone: Ranges of Multivocality in Bangladeshi Muslim's Discourses JAMES M
    The Kalimah in the Kaleidophone: Ranges of Multivocality in Bangladeshi Muslim's Discourses JAMES M. WILCE JR. ABSTRACT Bengali Muslims have long debated the place of reli- gion, ideology, literary heritage, ethnicity, and various national- isms in their identity. Contemporary identity ferment is exemplified in each of five examples of discourse explored herein. Replaying these voices "kaleidophonically" uncovers the vital, resistant, "fundamentally liberating" character of multivocality in Bengali Muslims' discourse, particularly in codeswitching, reported speech, and pronoun play. Although each of the voices acknowl- edges the kalimah of Islam, their multivocality belies simple for- mulations of identity. The translinguistics of Bakhtin informs the analysis of how linguistic play works to reconstitute what it is to be Bengali and Muslim. ommunities arise out of the diversity of interacting voices. Yet widely distributed representations of Muslims reduce their diverse voices to a monologue. Drawing on Bakhtin (1981), I approach the theme of multivocality and identity ferment among Muslims in Bangladesh through several re- Ccent discursive examples, some of which involve switching or mixing codes (Bengali, English, and Arabic as filtered through Persian or Urdu in the so- ciolinguistic history of Bengal) and others, switching styles. The examples are: an interview with a possession medium, a letter to the editor of an Eng- lish newspaper, the controversial writings of physician and author Taslima Nasrin, a lament by a rural woman, and a meeting between a business- man/pir (Sufi preceptor) (Ewing 1990a) and his cosmopolitan friends/disci- ples. My intent in replaying their voices "kaleidophonically" here is to uncover the vital, resistant, "fundamentally liberating" character (Hill and JAMES M.

  • Chicago Tour Options Chicago Architecture Foundation Boat Tours
    Getting Around Chicago TRANSPORTATION Driving in Chicago is not recommended – parking is limited and expensive. Taxis are very easy to find, or use the Uber app to have a taxi/car sent to your location. Getting downtown from the airport: take the el or a taxi. Taxi will cost about $40, or you can take the El from both Midway (look for the Orange line) and O’Hare (Blue Line). Follow the signs that say “Train to City.” Once you get to the train station, there will be machines to buy a fare card. A one-way ride is $2.25. If you plan to use public transit during your stay, you can also buy 1, 3 or 7 day passes at most Walgreens and CVS stores. These passes can also be used on the bus (same fare applies). Click here for the CTA website which includes a map of the bus and train (‘L’) routes. There are a number of apps that you can download to help navigate the public transit system. A few that I’ve used are Transit Stop (this will tell you when the next bus/train is expected to arrive) and HopStop (this will give you directions using public transit). THINGS TO DO United Center and Arrow on Ogden The United Center is located at 1901 W. Madison St (straight west of the downtown Loop area). Click here for driving/parking or public transportation directions (or a taxi will run just under $20 from downtown). Prior to the game, we will be hosting a pep rally at Arrow on Ogden, located at 1659 W.
