Seemly it tells the conflicts among the mother, Maggie and Dee about the quilts after Dee's coming home. But its real intention is discussing African-Americans' worries about their cultural heritages. The mother is devoid of the spirit of resistance and confidence. Dee actually does not love her culture and knows little of her culture. Maggie is also lack of confidence and can't struggle for herself and her culture. Therefore, they are not real inheritors of their own culture.展开更多

Language is the conveyor of meanings and it functions differently when the context that it is embedded in changes. In everyday language, frequently-encountered objects and concepts are present and the understanding of an idea is supported with abundant contextual clues. However, academic language is, in a sense, de-contextualized, in other words, context-reduced (Cummins, 2000). Notable features of academic language are high density of meanings, high level of formality, different syntactic structures from familiar and simpler everyday language, and discipline-specific terminology also poses great challenges to the comprehension. This paper will examine the differences between everyday language and the language of particular disciplines and the nature of discipline-specific language features. Drawn from the analysis, pedagogical suggestions are presented with reference to the teaching strategies and ways to bridge the gap. In addition, educational implications for CLIL will also be briefly discussed in the final section.展开更多

This paper will focus on using the decontructionism strategy to dismantle the binary oppositions of the story. The binary oppositions are "Pretty VS. Ugly, Civilized VS. Unenlightened, Hang VS. Use and The Mainstream Culture VS. Non-mainstream Culture". By analyzing, the paper concludes that no culture can be defeated and each culture needs to be passed on. Different cultures should respect each other.展开更多
