Learning new technology skills requires full concentration, but the task is even more challenging when it is being carried out in a learner's non-native language. Often in the business world, that training language is going to be English, and Microsoft MVP George Doubinski has seen firsthand the struggles that learners can face. George has had recent experiences training non-native speakers in an English language classroom. He explains why this is a common scenario and offers a range of suggested tools and techniques to help overcome typical headaches. We discuss vocabulary, pronunciation socio-political angles, and ways to gain comfort communicating in a business setting.   Resources: See all Biz Apps Classrooms episodes here: https://msdynamicsworld.com/biz-apps-classroom Support the podcast and get a discount on an annual plan for 365.training by visiting  https://365l.ink/MSDW.

This episode discusses the pros and cons of having a native English teacher versus a non-native English teacher. The pros of having a native English teacher include authentic pronunciation and intonation, cultural insight, and confidence boost. The cons include assumptions about proficiency level and lack of formal training. The pros of having a non-native English teacher include relatable experience, strong grammar knowledge, and empathy. The cons include accent variation, less exposure to idioms and slang, and learner perception. The key takeaway is to go beyond the native/non-native distinction and consider factors such as the teacher's language learning success, passion for teaching, ability to explain clearly, and whether their English is inspiring to you.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/644 Presented By:  Yellowstone Teton Territory, Skwala, Visit Helena, MT, FishHound Expeditions We've got Tom Bie, the editor of The Drake Magazine, back on the show. Tom's written about everything from the issues facing brown trout in the Grand Canyon to a wild story involving a dad and daughter busted by the FBI for selling synthetic weed. They even sued Tom for a quarter of a million dollars. Strap on the seatbelt, grab your beverage, and get comfortable. Let's get into this one with Tom Bie! Episode Chapters with Tom Bie on the Drake Magazine  02:26 - We get an update on Tom and The Drake Magazine since our last episode with him in October 2020. We also dive into the challenges facing journalism today. 07:52 - Tom praises Monte Burke for his storytelling skills and how he lets people share their stories. He also talks about Monte's latest work on Nick Lyons. 14:24 - Tom also highlights Jon Krakauer, known for his gripping books like Into the Wild. Krakauer's reporting on a Yosemite climber who committed serious crimes is a prime example of his courage and commitment to justice. 19:16 - We chat about the fish removal in the Grand Canyon. The issue revolves around removing brown trout to protect the native humpback chub. Tom highlights how this problem mirrors other areas, like Yellowstone. He explains that while protecting native species is important, it's tough when their removal affects popular sport fish that have been around for decades. There's also a bounty program where guides earn money for killing brown trout, which has led to the killing of over 6,000 fish. 35:49 - We discuss how changes in river flow and dam operations have impacted brown trout in the Grand Canyon. Starting around 2014, increased flow rates and historic high flows allowed more brown trout to migrate. 47:56 - We talk about ways to help with the fishing issues in the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Tom suggests people contact the National Park Service to express that killing sport fish might not be the best solution. Inside the Drake Magazine 54:33 - Tom shares that he always includes at least one in-depth reported piece per issue of the Drake Magazine. While essays are popular with readers, he often gets way more essays than actual reporting stories. Tom also explains that good reporting involves more than just writing; it needs interviews and research. He advises aspiring writers to use quotes from real conversations to improve their stories. 1:02:00 - Tom shares a crazy story about a father and daughter from Texas who got into big trouble for selling synthetic weed. Tom even got sued for talking about it on a podcast! The family also bought the Deneki lodges in Alaska, which was part of the money laundering charges. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/644  

This week we had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Sara Garfield - a true expert in communicating about science in English as a non-native language. Sara is a dedicated educator with a diverse academic and teaching background that spans multiple countries and disciplines. Raised in Italy speaking English at home, her early fascination with languages and literature has paved the way for her academic interests and teaching career. Her undergraduate studies led her to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages and Literature from Università Cà Foscari Venezia in Venice, Italy. During this time, she specialised in English and French languages and literature. Throughout her studies, she worked as an English private tutor, proof-reader and translator. Her true passion, though, has always been teaching and language learning. That is what drove her to train as an English language teacher in London, UK. Seeking to deepen her understanding of language acquisition and pedagogy, she pursued a Master of Science degree in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition at Worcester College, University of Oxford, UK. Currently, she holds a permanent position as an English language instructor and course coordinator in the Department of Languages and Communication at the College of Science and Technology, University of Bordeaux. With a diverse teaching background, she has taught English for Specific Purposes and English for Science and Technology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Folk Creatures that Keep Me Awake at Night! (Skinwalker Lore) Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP452 The legend of the skin-walker is a profound and complex aspect of Navajo culture, steeped in fear and mystery. These witches, embodying the antithesis of Navajo values, serve as a cautionary tale about the misuse of power and the perversion of sacred knowledge.  While the fascination with skin-walkers extends beyond the Navajo community, it is crucial to approach these stories with respect and an understanding of their cultural significance. J.K. Rowling's interpretation, though fictional, underscores the necessity of cultural sensitivity and awareness when engaging with these deeply rooted traditions. By doing so, we honor the rich traditions and deep wisdom of the Navajo people. Non-Native interpretations of skin-walker stories often differ significantly. They typically focus on partial encounters, where the protagonist faces temporary vulnerability but escapes from the skin-walker. These versions lack the depth and cultural significance found in traditional Navajo stories, sometimes substituting skin-walkers for generic monsters from European folk tales. The views and interpretations expressed in this episode are those of the creator, Jacob Kuker (Cub), and do not necessarily reflect the perspectives of the indigenous communities discussed. This content is intended for educational purposes and to encourage respectful dialogue about these profound and often misunderstood cultural stories. For further information and insights, please consider engaging with authentic sources and voices from the native and indigenous communities. _________________________________________

Barbara Serra is an award-winning Italian journalist who has spent much of her career reading the news in the UK on various high-profile well-established English language news networks including the BBC, Channel 5, Al Jazeera English and Sky News. Barbara has quite a specific relationship with English. It's her dominant language but not her native language. She has a certain accent, which does place her outside the UK somehow. So how has this affected her career as a news reader and reporter? What is the story of her English? What kind of challenges has she faced while reading the news in the UK? And what does this all tell us about learning English, what it means to improve your accent, the relationship between accent and identity, the definition of “native” and “non-native speaker”, the status of different English accents in the English speaking world?

A black slash slices over red-lined eyes, streaks down the breast, and connects at the keel as it cuts across the body of a flashy chukar partridge. Gray-blue feathers blend seamlessly into shades of dust-brown across its breast and back, but not its sides, where chukar apparently took some inspiration from zebras. Besides pheasants, chukars are arguably the most exotic-looking game birds in the United States. These birds have something in common: they didn't evolve here. Chukar are not native to North America. This bird's home range spans the Middle East and Asia, including Turkey, Jordan, Tehran, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, and Mongolia. In their native range, these birds have a penchant for steep, rocky outcroppings in arid landscapes. Their preference for rugged places translates to their North American range as well. Since its introduction to the United States decades ago, chukar have become an iconic North American upland game bird, and those who hunt them are lovingly referred to as “not right in the head.” Let's take a gander at this species' life history, habitat preferences, and robust hunting culture.

Dr Erick Lundgren from Aarhus University in Denmark joins Mark and Curtis to talk about a new research study he was part of. The study addresses the question of whether there's a need to eradicate non-native large herbivores to protect ecosystems. Topics discussed include small picky eaters vs generalist bulk feeders, the role of individual body mass vs total mass of all animals, the millions of dollars spent on eradications, eradicating native species as well as eradicating endangered species and whether the functional niche a species occupies within an ecosystem is more or less important that the concept of "nativeness".  Learn more about your ad choices.

Watch this episode on YouTube -- https://youtu.be/gjDkyfaW-40 Keeping a journal or a diary has never scared anyone. But putting your words in front of other people's eyes, well, yes, that might be intimidating, especially if you're writing in a second language. I never had an audience when I was learning to write in English. I would use pen and paper, and I never published a single word except for some status updates on Facebook. I missed out. Knowing that someone will read you may be scary, but it'll naturally force you to revise, improve, and polish your text. You'll be checking the language you use, asking yourself whether your ideas are clear or not and, most importantly, you'll be writing to and for real human beings who may even give you some feedback. That's why I encourage you to publish your writing. No special tools are required. You don't need any expensive subscriptions. You don't need to learn how to build a website or create a personal blog. You just need to open an account on Medium.com – a free blogging platform.

In this episode, we talk with Ron Miksha, a former commercial beekeeper now living in Calgary, Alberta. Ron was on the podcast back in August of this year talking about the Western Apiculture Society conference with Étienne Tardiff. At the time, he mentioned his research on the impact of the non-native honey bee on native bees and floral sources. This topic deserved its own space so we invited him back today. The debate over the impact of honey bees on native bees, pollinators, and floral sources is a complex and multifaceted issue, touching upon ecology, conservation, and agriculture. At the heart of this debate lies the honey bee, a non-native species in many parts of the world. One major concern is the competition honey bees may pose to native bee populations. By sheer numbers, honey bees can dominate floral resources in an area, potentially outcompeting native bees for nectar and pollen. This competition can be particularly significant in areas with limited floral abundance. Some studies suggest that the presence of honey bees in resource-constrained areas can lead to a decrease in the diversity and abundance of native bees. Honey bees are renowned for their pollination services, crucial for many agricultural crops. However, their dominance in certain ecosystems may alter pollination dynamics. While they contribute significantly to the pollination of a wide range of crops, their presence may affect the pollination efficiency of native plants, which have evolved alongside native pollinators. Honey bees not only compete with native bees for existing resources but can also influence the abundance and distribution of floral resources themselves. Their foraging patterns can affect the flowering plants' reproductive success, potentially leading to changes in plant community composition over time. The debate extends to conservation and beekeeping practices. There is a growing call for responsible beekeeping that minimizes the impact on native bee populations and ecosystems. This includes managing hive numbers, especially in ecologically sensitive areas, and supporting habitat restoration and conservation efforts to bolster both native and non-native pollinator populations. The challenge lies in balancing the agricultural benefits of honey bees with the ecological needs of native pollinators and plants. This involves a nuanced understanding of local ecosystems, the role of different pollinators, and the impact of human activities. The debate over the impact of honey bees on native bees and ecosystems is an ongoing one, requiring continued research, informed policy-making, and collaborative conservation efforts. Thoughtful consideration and continued research are needed. Listen to our conversation with Ron as he shares his research and observations on this topic.

A new threat to native trout was detected in the Bitterroot River for the first time last summer. Smallmouth bass are a non-native species which prey on young native species like trout and whitefish.

I get comments occasionally from people who say “I want to be like a native speaker” and “I don't want to learn from non-native speakers. In this episode, I'll argue the benefits of learning from non-native speakers as well as natives, and not closing yourself off from learning. The main thesis here is to stay open-minded in language learning and I explore some reasons why.I cover some ways in which non-native speakers might be preferable to native speakers, and even when they're not, the things you can learn from them.I hope you find this episode valuable.

On today's show, Jeff and Becky welcome back Eugene Makovec, editor of the American Bee Journal! Honey labeling laws vary widely across the US, creating a complex patchwork of regulations that can be challenging for both new and experienced beekeepers. While these laws are intended to protect consumers and promote transparency, they can be a source of confusion within the beekeeping community. As we will hear, these differences can be particularly vexing for beekeepers who sell their products across state lines, as they must navigate varying requirements. Eugene shares his experience working with his state and those of neighboring states to standardize labeling requirements. Later in the episode, Eugene shares insight into the current debate between conservationists and beekeepers: native vs. non-native. Honey bees were once the ‘canary in the coal mine' of our natural environment. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) had beekeepers and media promoting, “Save The Honey Bee”. Now conservation groups have adopted a more critical and perhaps adversarial stance toward honey bees, citing honey bees' potential harm to native pollinators. True or false, in whole or in part, this controversy is a topic with which all beekeepers should familiarize themselves and know how to respond to neighbor and community questions.

Promoting native insects via gardening is a worthwhile endeavor that is growing in popularity, but just because native insects are good to have in the garden, that doesn't also mean all non-native insects are bad to have around. My guest this week, environmental studies professor Kaitlin Stack Whitney, Ph.D., encourages gardeners to examine the reasons why some insects are favored while others with similar behaviors are given a bad rap.
