#bilingualism — Public Fediverse posts

Happy Official Languages Day! 🇨🇦

2 official languages, 1 country, and roughly 67 ways to apologize in both.

Here’s to English and French not competing for the mic, but sharing it, in harmony, ideally with subtitles.

Hi folks! 👋

I am Ranjith (he/him), a #CognitiveScience #researcher 🧠

Currently designing #experiments based on #behavioral #GameTheory at the #DataScience and #AI Lab, Department of #ComputerScience, New York University AbuDhabi #NYUAbuDhabi #NYUAD #UAE (remote contract).

Previously worked as a #Research Associate at the Department of #Neurology, National Institute of #MentalHealth and Neurosciences, #Neuroscience #NIMHANS #Bengaluru, where I investigated the role of #Bilingualism and #Education in delaying the onset of #dementia.

Prior to that, I was in the #Language and #Cognition Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, #IITKanpur #IITK #UttarPradesh, where I worked in the areas of #VisualPerception #Psycholinguistics (Visual Word Recognition).

I hold a Master's degree in Cognitive Science from the Centre of #Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences #CBCS, University of #Allahabad, #Prayagraj and a Bachelor's degree in #Electronics and #Communication #Engineering from Anna #University, Chennai, India.

Before receiving my master's degree, I was in the third cohort of International #Fellowship in #Health #Technology #Assessment #HTA at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, #IITMadras #IITM #Chennai.

I love #data, #theory, and bringing both together. I am interested in raising awareness of dementia. I also like to engage in #SystemsThinking and #DesignThinking to better understand #WickedProblems.

I am passionate about #equity, #diversity, #inclusion, and #SocialJustice.

I am #Indian 🇮🇳 by nationality, my family is from #TamilNadu, #India and I grew up speaking #Tamil at home. I am comfortable speaking in 🗣️ #Malayalam and #Hindi.

#Introduction

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.

I've set up @Bilingualism for teachers or researchers of plural #languages at levels of the #individual (#bilingual development), #family (bilingual child-raising & #biculturalism), society (a country's language #communities & policies), or #schools (bilingual or #international #education, Second or #ForeignLanguageTeaching teaching).

If you follow it like you follow a person, you can get posts with @Bilingualism in them, or share messages with the group.

1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330778631 or https://www.academia.edu/38264974
