AI-Translation: Opportunity or Danger for Multilingual Families?
If a translation app can help your child understand their grandma's words, does it actually matter that they used one? I think it does — and as both a language professional and a bilingual parent, here's why the difference between understanding language and truly feeling it is everything. -

Arizona Luminaria: Arizona teen builds website to help families find dual-language schools. “Meaning ‘navigator’ in English, the site supports families with questions about dual-language programs and details the model used. Its features include a school finder based on zip codes, state letter grades and shows whether buses are available to and from school.”

The Official Languages Act: Bilingualism in Canada 🗣️🇨🇦
On July 7, 1969, Canada's Official Languages Act was enacted, granting French and English equal status. The Act reflects Canada's commitment to its dual linguistic heritage and its efforts to foster inclusivity and understanding between English and French-speaking communities. 🇨🇦 #Canada #OfficialLanguagesAct #Bilingualism #CanadianHistory

Presentation "Foreigners and Japanese Adapting to Each Other" at Kansai University in Osaka on adapting to life in Japan, described more fully at permalink https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/115304621940742746
The presentation recommended being a professional foreigner as a middle way between alienation and assimilation, or between remaining an outsider and going native.
Check out the slideshow, with actual untouched photos as backgrounds, at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396013192
A bilingual slide has a message to Japanese people about adapting to the foreigners in their midst. Show it to any Japanese people you know who are hesitant about intercultural communication:
「外国人と日本人の相互適応」：異文化間コミュニケーションやバイリンガリズムの研究結果による日本人へのアドバイス：外国人に適応すること：外国語と文化を学びましょう。限られた第二言語を使うことをためらわないでください。もっとオープンで、好奇心旺盛で、寛容で、広い心を持ちましょう。異文化交流は日本文化にとって脅威ではありません。日本は世界有数の強力なブランドです。バイリンガリズムの研究によると、バイリンガル、またはバイカルチュラルになることでも、母国文化を失うことはありません。バイリンガルになることで選択肢が増え、ひいては自由が増えます。#Japan #Japanese #foreigners #culture #InterculturalCompetence #adaptation #bilingualism

"Foreigners and Japanese Adapting to Each Other": a presentation to university students and staff from Thailand and Japan at Kansai University. I was an Adjunct Professor there from 2015-2020, teaching ICT classes foreign exchange and regular students. I also pioneered a Global Faculty Development position there.
ABSTRACT: Most of my life has been devoted to bringing Japanese together with foreigners in their midst. This presentation applies perspectives from intercultural communication and bilingualism, courses I have taught, to give advice to both sides. A middle way of adapting as a professional foreigner is suggested, between the extremes of alienation and going native. A bilingual slide advises Japanese on research findings that ease their concerns about cultural identity in intercultural relations.

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

🤔 Oh, such a dilemma! Is it better to speak two languages or just be really good at one? 🤯 The article tangles itself in a web of menus and newsletters before considering if your brain is bilingual or just trying to unsubscribe. 📩💬

I was filling out a survey when I encountered this question: "Is English the language you're most comfortable reading in?" I said yes, but it really depends on the genre/content. For example, I'm more comfortable reading manga in Japanese.

From here in Japan I was honored by this tribute from The Worthy Educator in the U.S.: "Steve McCarty gets celebratED for receiving the second annual Veteran Teacher Voices Interview from The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching! We celebrate Steve for this recognition of his impressive career in higher education!"
The Web page with links is at https://www.get-celebrated.com/post/steve-mccarty-receives-second-annual-veteran-teacher-voices-interview-from-jalt
Or I suggest that you go straight to the interview, available to non-members of ResearchGate by just scrolling down, at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386424805_Interview_with_Steve_McCarty_on_his_professorial_accomplishments_in_Japan
The interview is not just about my project initiatives and publications but also about foreign language issues such as the long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.

New publication: "Interview with Steve McCarty" [on his professorial accomplishments in Japan].
The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching has honored me with their second annual Veteran Teacher Voices interview on my teaching career in Japan. I critique the foreign language teaching profession, discuss future trends of increasing foreigners in Japan, the need for English, and long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.
