Therefore if we don't factor in & encourage the child to learn & speak in their native language a child may have identity issues & feel alienated. smfarooqui21 https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017315547 2022-01-28 05:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017315547 The language we speak reflects who we are and where we are from. If one couldn't speak the dominant language in use, then they feel left out and they seem to lose their own identity which leads to the feeling of inferiority. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017323444 2022-01-28 05:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017323444 My point of view for gender and language is that gender is very different from language. Because we have seen around us that even though the language of female, male and transgender is same, but the way of presenting that language is different. As women use language emotionally and politely. But the male uses the language emotionally and lit bit agressively as compared to the female. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017398134 2022-01-28 07:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017398134 My understanding from language and identity is that people are also identified by language. For example, if someone uses Punjabi language, then he is identified as Punjabi. Or if a person speaks Tamil, Madrasi language, then he is identified with South Indian. And if we speak Hindi language in any country then our identity is Indian by Hindi language. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017399502 2022-01-28 07:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017399502 My understanding is that if a person's hold is strong in a language, then language is called power for that person. Like my Hindi language is very good then Hindi language is my Powar. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017399925 2022-01-28 07:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017399925 There are different languages ​​and culture in our country. And accordingly the people living in that language and culture have their understanding and thinking. Like in Hindu culture, when we worship God, we light a lamp and if in Christian culture a candle is lit in front of God. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017400336 2022-01-28 07:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017400336 My understanding is for example that society is divided because of languages. Because mostly Hindi language is spoken in low society and little bit Hindi language and English language is spoken in high society. And we divided these two types of society into language (Hindi and English). https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017401438 2022-01-28 07:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017401438 My understanding is that those who know Hindi language consider themselves comfortable in Hindi medium. But when a person with Hindi language comes in front of a person with English language, then both attitude and motivation will be a different show. Like, the attitude and motivation of the person from whom the English language comes is very high. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017402317 2022-01-28 07:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017402317 https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017470634 A child or a person at first will face difficulty in understanding or grasping the language structure when introduce to any new language for the very first time. with support, motivation and reinforcement from more knowledgeable others will help that person in understanding and coping up with the language barrier, whereas no support from the parents or teachers side either will lead to failure, as that person is not motivated enough to learn.]]> 2022-01-28 08:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017470634 https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017500198 The term "language" in it self holds power because it's a symbol of communication but in addition to this now the idea of language have changed due to the dominance of a particular language in today's world, wherein language is not just a form of communication but it has become a key to raise one's standard of living.

Language becomes powerful when it is connected with socio- political power. Language also rises the standard of an individual for example the language 'English' , is treated and respected as a superior language as compared to other languages. So we can conclude that language can step- up or rise the power and more the powerful language is more it is considered as an essential part in life as well as in the society. https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017595651 2022-01-28 09:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017595651 https://padlet.com/sunitasingh7/nka9dpo5lupk9cjz/wish/2017599428 The verbal and nonverbal language cues of a person instantly reflect the identity of a person.
