The latest honor is that researchers at universities in Tōkyō have a national grant to study podcasting for educator professional development, and they are taking my Japancasting podcast as a case study. They interviewed me by Zoom and I could enjoy recalling my innovations from 2005 in Japan, soon after podcasting started in North America. Here I'm showing some scenes from the early period, and again in collaboration with Indian colleagues, partly to reach English learners in South and Central Asia and those interested in Japan.

New version in large typeface bundling the three articles of the "Taxonomy of Bilingualism" series.
The author's original formulation analyzes bilingualism into five levels, the 1) individual (bilingual development), 2) family (bilingual child-raising), 3) societal (language groups and policies), 4) school (bilingual education), and 5) academic (disciplinary) levels. This series offers a taxonomy classifying phenomena of bilingualism according to the five levels, which have been useful for teaching university classes on bilingualism and bilingual education.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/394120584_Taxonomy_of_Bilingualism_series

Documented publication number 255 is confirmed, my short essay "What Intelligence and Genius Actually Are."

Good news on open access to my works on bilingualism, the research area related to my teaching, child-raising, and using Japanese for over 40 years. I was interviewed by The Japan Times on #bilingual #education for a forthcoming paywalled article. It was a long interview, and usually a newspaper article uses only short passages from one individual. However, the #Japan Association for #Language #Teaching Bilingualism Special Interest Group (#JALT #Bilingualism SIG) would like to publish the full interview in its newsletter Bilingual Japan. Everyone should be able to read that as I back it up in research repositories. The tentative title is "English Education and Bilingual Education in Japan."
My publications on bilingualism have been backed up mostly at Academia Edu, which is not so easy to access anymore [any comment?], so I've added links to the original sources of articles, which are open access, at https://japanned.hcommons.org/bilingualism

The Japan Times just interviewed me toward an article on bilingual education. Whenever I think my work is done in a field, requests come along and I find I have still more I've wanted to express.
I've been invited to give an informal presentation at Kōnan University in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture next month. It will be my 100th different presentation topic. Many people have appreciated my photos and explanations, so I will show and tell briefly about 20 "Kyōto Temples, Shrines, and Festivals."

2/2 Among the limitations are that the English is too much and too difficult for L2 learners in most academic sources, such as journals. When students use automatic translation, they have probably thought about the content in Japanese, but they can paste auto-translated English into papers without fulfilling the language-driven mandate to balance the content-driven approach. I do not believe in content-based EFL as a pretext to mask a language-driven agenda, since the students are enriched by the transferable knowledge they gain in L1 as well as in L2.
Writing reflects thinking, so I discourage writing and speaking that relies on machine translation or AI. The result might be obvious, but we cannot accuse and police students.
How can we promote authenticity in such an age?

@mguhlin In Bilingualism classes in Japan, I can require students to show what they have learned from this class, which is based on reliable research, and to discuss their own experiences in summary, reflection, and response papers. In such ways I can discern how much of students' writing is their own thinking and analyzing. Findings from the discipline of bilingualism are dwarfed by the amount of common misconceptions about bilingualism, which would presumably be reflected in AI databases, from blogs and such sources in Japanese, where students find mostly stereotypical, anecdotal, or prejudiced information for papers, despite my warnings to use reliable sources. I am wondering how applicable this approach could be for other subject matter areas.

Similar to this clever tee shirt:
"a monolingual foreign language teacher tells you in effect to 'go where I have not gone,' whereas a bilingual teacher tells you with his or her example, 'come to the state of functioning that I represent'"

CW: Bilingualism erroneous zones
#Bilingualism, #BilingualEducation, #multiculturalism or #diversity seem to trigger cultural purists.
In #Japan even university students say, "if there is too much immigration, traditional culture will decline." In Intercultural Communication and Bilingualism classes, I say that #Japanese culture and language is not so delicate as to be threatened by intercultural contacts. Japan has a strong brand in terms of a distinct culture and language. The delicacy in Japanese communication is not the same as fragility.
Parallel to guarding the culture is a notion in Japanese blogs that small children get confused by more than one language. Then they put it off, kids have little chance of fluency, and becoming #bilingual is other people's business. It goes against #language acquisition research and lowers expectations of cognitive growth.
Does your country or region have similar or different issues?

PRONOUNS
Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.
Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.
As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.
My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that I can only ally with, including #Black #LGBTQ+ #IndigenousPeoples.
Since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name (“Guhlin” is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.
So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.

Regarding #translanguaging vs. code-switching between languages, Rafi Saleh in Bangladesh, who did his PhD in Australia on translanguaging, informed me: "According to code-switching theorists, a bilingual has two linguistic systems, whereas a monolingual has one. For translanguaging theorists, both bilingual and monolingual people have one linguistic system, but bilingual people's systems are more complex, and they learn to divide the system into two for external forces rather than linguistic reasons."
This accords with my view of always-on bilingual mode. The pictures show my proposed paradigm shift from a conventional #ForeignLanguageTeaching model to a #developmental #bilingual perspective.Join the 🦣 group @Bilingualism to see & share posts.

Efthymia Kapnoula @EffieKapnoula asked: what is the difference between translanguaging and language/code switching?
Wikipedia confirmed that code-switching is at the individual level, whereas #translanguaging has a broader meaning that includes pedagogy. I code-switch in teaching and mix Japanese with English. I call it '#bilingual mode' where both #languages are always on.
My 'Levels of Bilingualism' framework includes plural languages at the individual level (bilingual development, language acquisition), family level (bilingual child-raising, biculturalism), societal level (a country's language communities and policies), and school level (bilingual or international education, second or foreign language teaching).

A really interesting #neuroscience study on brain connectivity that found longer distance connections within the #language network and across the hemispheres for children more proficient in spoken and written English. And for bilinguals, "those with stronger bilingual proficiency showed greater neural network density along the key regions of language processing, as a neurodevelopmental index of greater efficiency in cognitive processing."
