Talk about some themes such as creation stories and gaps in history between creation/ human origin and dirty first contact with humans to bring religious details to the people. Western culture often values what is written as more historically sound than oral traditions of verbally passing down info. Why are there no first hand written accounts of humans who were around at creation time? History of alphabets and writing are a phenomena that appeared later in history after humans had already been on earth for generations. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Dr. Rosário Durão is an Associate Professor at New Mexico Tech (NMT) where she teaches courses in Visual Communication and Graphic Design, International Professional Communication, Design Thinking for Innovation Lab, Branding and Social Media, to name a few. She received her PhD from the Open University, Portugal, with a specialization inTranslation Studies. Her dissertation was on “Scientific and technical translation: Proposal for training multicompetent translators specialized in producing scientific and technical documentation from English to Portuguese.” Rosário is currently completing the Graphic and Digital Design Certificate program from Parsons School of Design. She was the founding editor of Confluências, an e-journal dedicated to technical and scientific translation between 2003 and 2006, and the, also digital, connexions • international professional communication journal between 2013 and 2018. She coedited connexions with Kyle Mattson from the University of Central Arkansas from 2014 to 2018. From mid 2014 to the end of 2018, she also coordinated the multinational VISTAC - Visualizing Science and Technology Across Cultures research project at NMT. In this episode of Room 42 we discuss why Professional Communication and Translation is more than written language. Communication is always between people, no matter how many tools and technologies mediate it, and that, if it is to work, communication must truly meet the needs, expectations, and contexts of the people receiving it. She will also share some ways for researchers and instructors to be more in sync with the world around us, in particular (a) observing professionals in their workplaces (what they do throughout their days, the tools they use and how they use them, the role of sketching, designing, body language, as well as their role and interactions with video, blog posts, slideshows, graphs, document layout, communication design, and many other visual components), (b) understanding how individual and group cultures and nationalities shape the way people think and deploy verbal-visual language, especially the visual component, and (c) making sure that every one of us has as high a level of visual literacy as written, oral, electronic, and nonverbal—both theoretical and, most importantly, practical —for only then can we truly understand and convey the evolving role of visuals in communicating science, humanities, technology, engineering, arts, and business between people within specific languages, cultures and nationalities, and across different languages, cultures and nationalities.

In this episode, we talk a bit about prose and the mechanics of our writing. We'll focus on four common aspects of fiction prose.
Zajal, which flourished in 14th century Andalusia, is a genre of poetry composed in spoken Arabic—Moroccan Arabic/Darija in this case. The genre reemerged in postcolonial Morocco, when it was largely published in newspapers. The recent history of zajal may appear male dominated: the 1992 edition of Afaq, the Journal of the Moroccan Writer's Union, highlighted modern zajal poetry but included only one poem by a woman poet. But many Moroccan women who write zajal today look to history for inspiration, often citing Kharbousha, an iconic figure who resisted oppressive rulers through her poetry, as an example they seek to emulate. Beyond this, Facebook and TikTok, provide a rich and accessible realm for sharing poetry. My research, grounded in interviews with zajalat (women zajal poets) and close readings of their work, examines how and why Moroccan women write zajal poetry today, and what their experiences on and off the page can tell us about Darija as a literary language. Catherine Cartier received her B.A. in History and Arab Studies in May 2020 from Davidson College (USA). Prior to Fulbright, she worked as an investigative intern and consultant at the Center for Advanced Defense Study and reported as an independent journalist from Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tajikistan. Her Fulbright research examines zajal poetry written by Moroccan women. Bibliography: Afaq: the Journal of the Moroccan Writers' Union. 1992.

Episode 5.1 - The development of written language and literacy[intro music]Hi, my name is Clayton Mills. Welcome to ‘A Short Walk through our Long History' - a podcast where we look at the events of history, and try to see how those events shaped our modern world. Welcome to Episode 5.1 - The development of written language and literacy. Next time, we're going to be taking a look at one of the great stories of the ancient world - the Iliad. But before we get dive into that, I wanted to step aside for an episode, and discuss the something that's crucial to our understanding of history: written languages. As I've said before, it's really hard to nail down the dates of ancient events before about 1000 BC. Part of that is because there really isn't that much written documentation of the events before that; at least not a lot of documentation that has survived. Once written languages became more common, a lot more stuff got recorded, and so our study of history gets more accurate, and much easier to cross-reference between cultures. So today, I thought we'd take a side journey into something that I find really fascinating: the development of written languages. And we're also going to do something else a bit different - this episode will be an interview, with someone with much more experience in ancient languages than I have.

According to the Construal-Level Theory of psychological distance (Trope and Liberman 2010), hypothetical distance refers to the likelihood of an event and having access to or possessing an object. Hypothetical distance is a customer-centric measurement. The reference point is a customer’s current situation and the previous experiences associated with it. Hypothetical distance is said to be close for likely and certain events and distant for unlikely and uncertain events. Customers’ uncertainty evaluations can be measured with a hypothetical distance in language. The prediction is that for events the customer deems likely, s/he will use concrete and detailed words in the written message. For events deemed unlikely, s/he will use abstract and vague words. Hence, if the writer thinks it is likely that COVID-19 will impact his or her life, concrete words are likely to be used. Otherwise, abstract words are likely to be used. Hypothetical distance measures uncertainty. It is one of the four distance dimensions, e.g. temporal, social, and spatial, of psychological distance and extends to events, e.g. COVID-19, and objects, e.g. brands. Extant research shows that psychological distance influences preferences and decision-making. ABOUT THE RESEARCHER Dr. Simone Griesser studies consumer and brand language on the basis of psychological theories and concepts to explain consumer perception, evaluation, and decision making. She wrote her thesis about the psychological distance of brand association and brand communication at Warwick Business School (GB). In addition to her Ph.D., she worked part-time for the AI Innovation Network and presented her research at the Association of Consumer Research, European Marketing Association Conference, Society for Personality and Social Psychology. Before starting her Ph.D., Simone spent over a decade in the tourism, hospitality, and education industry and has thus a profound understanding and appreciation for business processes and solutions. Simone works at the Institute for Market Supply and Consumer Decision-Making at the School of Applied Psychology FHNW where she conducts applied research teaches and coaches student projects.

How can shadowing EL students help educators, schools, and districts improve their instruction and outcomes? What are some ways we can link quantitative data from assessments with qualitative data gathered while shadowing students? What are the protocols that teachers should use when shadowing students and what action steps should be taken after the experience? We discuss the questions and much more with Dr. Ivannia Soto. Dr. Soto is professor of Education at Whittier College in California, where she specializes in second language acquisition, systemic reform for English language learners (ELLs), and urban education. She began her career in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), where she taught English and English Language Development to a population made of up 99.9% Latinos, who either were or had been ELLs. Before becoming a professor, Dr. Soto also served LAUSD as a literacy coach and district office administrator. She has presented on literacy and language topics at various conferences, including the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), the California Association for Bilingual Association (CABE), the American Educational Research Association (AERA), and the National Urban Education Conference. As a consultant, Soto has worked with Stanford University’s School Redesign Network (SRN) and WestEd, as well as a variety of districts and county offices in California, providing technical assistance for systemic reform for ELLs and Title III. Soto is the co-author of The Literacy Gaps: Building Bridges for ELLs and SELs, as well as ELL Shadowing as a Catalyst for Change and From Spoken to Written Language with ELLs, all published by Corwin Press. Together, the books tell a story of how to systemically close achievement gaps with ELLs by increasing their oral language production in academic areas. Dr. Soto is Executive Director of the Institute for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching (ICLRT) at Whittier College, whose mission it is to promote relevant research and develop academic resources for ELLs and Standard English Learners (SELs) via linguistically and culturally responsive teaching practices.

Welcome to a special edition of The Core for THE GOOD BOOK with guest host, podcast extraordinaire, and actor Lance Gardner. In The Core, we talk to members of the community to see where the onstage and offstage worlds of our season intersect. In this Repisode, Lance and Berkeley Rep's literary manager Sarah Rose Leonard took a trip to The Center for the Tebtunis Papyrus at UC Berkeley to investigate the complicated history of writing, the process of how texts are passed down and interpreted, and the ethical and moral questions surrounding antiquities, all with an incredible spin from Lance's podcasting expertise. The Good Book runs through June 9. Tickets are available at berkeleyrep.org! Follow Berkeley Rep on SoundCloud to keep up with the whole series. You can also listen on Apple Podcasts and Stitcher.
In this episode, we discuss some more recent research into the neuroscience behind how our brains listen and understand and the surprising and creepy way that our brains mimic the speaker’s own brain waves and neural structures. This is a powerful lesson on how we choose to tune in, and how what we tune in to changes our brains. Science meets gut instinct in this nerdy and fun exploration into how our minds work. Send in your questions on the community page at KathrynColleen.com and let me know how I can help!
